UNSPSC 50624007: Non GMO cipolino purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO cipolinos. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50624007 Non GMO cipolino purees is a Commodity code that names a single produce item, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect procurement of that specific product. Instead, the code appears in opportunities for broad food service supply — state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, county senior services, and state-level institutional food procurement all issue bids for shelf-stable and prepared food items, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, canned vegetables, and food service consumables (containers, napkins, gloves, straws). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a data alignment issue; no recent opportunity specifically names non-GMO cipolino purees or a materially similar produce item.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing this code span Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Burke County Schools in Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Texas school nutrition programs), correctional facilities, and state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia). Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears multiple times across recent bids—three separate IFBs for state-supported living center food service in 2026. Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Illinois also represented. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato bid S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases), and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive food products across multiple school sites (due June 15, 2026). Pricing structures vary widely from single-vendor awards to multi-award arrangements; most require FOB Destination delivery within 7–30 days of order and firm pricing for 30 days post-award with subsequent adjustments tied to USDA or CPI indices.
