UNSPSC 50624101: Non GMO curly kale purees

The variety of Non GMO kale known as Non GMO curly kale. 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 50624101 Non GMO curly kale purees is a Commodity code that captures fresh and processed vegetable products state and local governments buy for institutional food service, though recent activity under this specific code shows little substantive procurement volume. The opportunities posted under this code in the state and local marketplace comprise a narrow slice of the broader food-service procurement landscape — most recent postings tagged to this code involve generic food items for canteens, cafeterias, school nutrition programs, and state institutions (supported living centers, correctional facilities, and hospitals), but none specifically solicit non-GMO curly kale purees or kale-based products. The issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (notably Texas HHS Commission), county and city school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon DOC, Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's office), county social services departments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and state facilities serving vulnerable populations. The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Texas and Georgia showing the highest recent posting volume.

Representative recent opportunities in this code tier are broadly food-service provisioning rather than kale-specific: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods across 22 line items for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, which listed prepared foods and food service supplies but no kale products; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables for senior services, also without kale specification; and Ben Hill County Schools issued IFB #26271 in May 2026 (due June 15, 2026) for hundreds of line items across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods for the school nutrition program across four schools. The code shows no recent procurement activity specifically targeting non-GMO kale purees or kale-derived products — existing opportunities use the taxonomy incorrectly or as a catch-all for produce-category solicitations.
