UNSPSC 50626911: Non GMO chinese broccoli purees

The variety of Non GMO broccoli known as Non GMO chinese broccoli. 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 50626911, Non GMO Chinese broccoli purees, is a Commodity code representing a specific food product line; however, the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show minimal activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The sourced opportunities reveal that state and local governments are procuring broadly across institutional food service categories — fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, canned goods, and disposables — through health and human services agencies, school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and county social services. The six clearly scoped recent opportunities span IFB, RFQ, and IWQ notice types, with response dates ranging from May through October 2026. Work typically includes food service supply fulfillment for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school cafeterias, and senior services programs, with delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt on F.O.B. Destination terms. Bidders must certify compliance with E-Verify, provide liability insurance, submit references for similar contracts, and often include HACCP plans, Buy American certifications, and suspension-and-debarment affidavits. Contract terms typically run fiscal or calendar years with renewal options, and pricing must be firm for initial periods with adjustments permitted at renewal or on quarterly or semi-annual bases tied to third-party market indices.

Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and school districts in Georgia emerge as repeat issuers in the recent record. HHSC has posted multiple IFBs for state-facility food service (Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers, with historical annual spend around $1.5 million noted in one solicitation and up to $4.5 million over three years in another); Georgia school districts — including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools — have solicited comprehensive food bids serving multiple school locations with nearly 400 line items each. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted large-volume procurement for canned goods and institutional cafeteria items. Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The specific Commodity code (Non GMO Chinese broccoli purees) does not appear as a line item in any of the sourced opportunities; most solicitations request produce generally (fresh, frozen, or canned vegetables) without specifying broccoli purées, let alone non-GMO Chinese varieties. One Oregon posting titled "Potatoes, Variety" lacked sufficient detail to assess relevance. The code shows little recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its precise definition.
