UNSPSC 50621904: Non GMO boltardy beet purees

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO boltardy 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 50621904 Non GMO boltardy beet purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. None of the posted opportunities in the dataset reference this specific product or code; the recent solicitations consistently involve broad food service procurement for schools, correctional facilities, and state health institutions covering hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared foods, but they do not isolate or specify non-GMO beet purees as a distinct procurement requirement.

State and local food service procurement under related food supply codes is heavily concentrated among school districts, state departments of corrections, and health and human services agencies across the South and Midwest. Recent activity shows school nutrition programs dominating the market—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) have all issued major food supply RFPs and IFBs in 2026. State-level procurements include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food for state hospitals and supported living centers, $1.5 million historical value and $4.5 million maximum potential value), Oregon Department of Corrections (canned and fresh produce), and Illinois Veterans Home (weekly food orders). Procurement is active across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with school districts typically splitting awards across multiple vendors by line item and emphasizing lowest-price responsive bidding, firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods with limited midterm escalation tied to USDA or CPI indices, and Buy American compliance. The absence of non-GMO beet purees as a line item across these large institutional food procurements suggests either minimal institutional demand for the product in the current market or categorization under different procurement vehicles not captured in this dataset.
