UNSPSC 50624102: Non GMO collard green purees

The variety of Non GMO kale known as Non GMO collard greens. 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 50624102 Non GMO collard green purees is a Commodity code describing specialized vegetable products that state and local governments procure as components of institutional food service. The recent activity under this code shows minimal direct demand for the specific product named—collard green purees—but the surrounding procurement environment reveals that state and local food buyers are actively sourcing fresh produce, frozen vegetables, and prepared food items through competitive bidding. School districts, state agencies, and institutional facilities are the primary issuing bodies, with school nutrition programs dominating the market across multiple states.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, where school districts and state health and human services agencies regularly issue solicitations for food products. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' February 2026 ITB for canned tomato products (approximately 7,616 cases), and multiple school district fresh produce and food supply RFQs and IFBs from Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia issuing between January and June 2026. While the code nominally specifies collard green purees, the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for that product line; procurement activity under this taxonomy generally captures broader fresh and frozen vegetable categories, canned goods, and prepared food items rather than specialty puree products. School districts represent the highest volume of issuing bodies, with individual district nutrition programs commonly issuing annual food supply contracts ranging from approximately $1.5 million to $9 million in estimated value, typically structured as firm fixed-price agreements with quarterly or annual renewal options.
