UNSPSC 50621900: Non GMO beet purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO beets. 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 50621900 Non GMO beet purees is a Class code that names a narrow product category, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little purchasing of beet purees specifically. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for broad food-service consumables — canned vegetables, frozen produce, fresh proteins, dairy, pantry staples, and food-service supplies — issued by state health and human services departments, county governments, and school districts operating institutional food services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (non-GMO beet purees) and the actual work being solicited (general institutional food procurement) suggests the code may be used as a catch-all taxonomy entry for food-service categories that do not map cleanly to more specific UNSPSC codes, or that individual line items tagged under broader food solicitations are incorrectly classified at the beet-puree commodity level.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon and include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Consumables Foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for Department of Community Services, due October 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (comprehensive food and kitchen-supply bid for the School Nutrition Program across four schools, due June 15, 2026), Burke County Public Schools' food bid for five schools (nearly 400 line items, sealed bids due June 5, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST with 5% Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026). Most solicitations require firm fixed pricing on an FOB Destination basis with delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt, three verifiable references, compliance with federal food standards (USDA grades, FDA labeling, country-of-origin marking), and certifications addressing debarment, E-Verify, and cybersecurity or human-trafficking compliance depending on state requirements.
