UNSPSC 50624012: Non GMO lemon gras purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO lemon gras Non GMOs. 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 50624012 Non GMO lemongrass purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes specialty botanical food ingredients. However, the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity directly aligned with lemongrass purees; instead, they reflect broad consumable food procurement across institutional food service operations. The code appears underutilized for its intended product category, with state and local buying entities using it as a catch-all or placeholder for general food supply contracts rather than specialty botanical items. State and local issuing bodies pursuing food contracts include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois, Georgia), county boards of commissioners, school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state corrections departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice emerge as repeat buyers, issuing multiple IFBs for consumable foods spanning proteins, dairy, produce, and food service supplies for state-supported living centers, hospitals, and correctional facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois.
