UNSPSC 50586860: Non GMO tepeguaje

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO tepeguaje. 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 50586860 Non GMO tepeguaje is a Commodity code. The code shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity — the single recent opportunity posted under this code (Georgia Department of Education, May 2026, IFB for fresh produce) describes procurement of broad fresh-produce categories and makes no reference to tepeguaje or any specialty legume or botanical product matching the code's name. State and local school nutrition and food-service programs are instead soliciting fresh-produce contracts at scale, with Georgia, Texas, and Missouri school districts and boards of education posting RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs for commodity fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, meats, dairy, and prepared foods to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent procurement activity suggests either miscoding in the source data or that tepeguaje — a drought-resistant legume native to Mexico and the Southwest — does not occupy a material line item in current state and local child-nutrition purchasing.

The universe of relevant activity sits instead in adjacent commodity codes covering fresh produce (melons, berries, apples, carrots, broccoli, peppers, onions, citrus, potatoes), eggs, dairy, and prepared entrees. Recent solicitations from Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, RFP 2026-048, May 7, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, RFP 26039RFQDST, March 11, 2026), Bulloch County School District (Georgia, IFP May 4, 2026), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri, ITB April 29, 2026), Early County Board of Education (Georgia, ITB June 8, 2026), and a Georgia state-level IFB (May 27, 2026) reflect a consistent pattern: school-system procurement offices are seeking multiple qualified vendors, line-item pricing, weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites, HACCP and food-safety compliance, Buy American compliance, and firm fixed pricing or index-based pricing mechanisms. Unless your firm has established supply capability for tepeguaje into institutional food service, this code does not warrant pursuit.
