UNSPSC 50624022: Non GMO salsify purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO salsify. 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 50624022 Non GMO salsify purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty purees with non-GMO certification—does not match the actual work being solicited under it. The recent opportunities block contains seventeen records spanning February through June 2026, but none of them involve salsify purees or any specialty vegetable purees. Instead, the solicitations tagged with this code cover broad food service procurement: canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, cafeteria and school nutrition groceries, consumable products for state-supported living centers and correctional facilities, and weekly food orders for state veterans homes. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this Commodity code as a catch-all category for food procurement rather than using it to tag salsify puree–specific opportunities.

State and local buyers soliciting under this code span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County and Douglas County in Georgia, Muscogee County in Georgia), state agencies (Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia state procurement), and independent institutional food service programs. Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Upper Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), with secondary activity in Texas, Oregon, Virginia, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, covering 23 Qualified Ordering Entities statewide with prior-period spend of $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato ITB (S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026, for 7,616 cases); and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026, serving 45 schools plus distribution facilities). No recent opportunity solicitation targets non-GMO salsify purees specifically. Pursuit is not recommended unless the code's intended scope shifts or issuing bodies begin tagging specialty puree opportunities with this Commodity code.
