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 is a Commodity code that describes specialty vegetable products state and local governments procure for institutional food service, particularly for state health and human services facilities, school districts, and corrections departments. The code nominally names beet purees, but the recent opportunities block shows limited direct solicitation for this specific commodity; state and local buyers are instead procuring broad institutional food baskets—proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and food service supplies—under broader food procurement codes. The recent activity demonstrates that when beet purees or similar specialty vegetable products do appear, they are embedded in larger composite food-supply contracts rather than solicited as standalone line items. The issuing bodies conducting food procurement under codes near this one span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County), municipal school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and specialized state facilities. Texas facilities—the Lufkin State Supported Living Center and El Paso State Supported Living Center—appear as repeat buyers of consumable food products, each managing annual procurement cycles with multi-item scopes covering prepared foods, frozen specialty items, and kitchen supplies.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted three food-service procurements between May and October 2026 (HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center in July, HHS0017872 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center in August, and HHS0018082 for Lufkin canteen and campus supplies in October), each soliciting under IFB with response dates ranging from late August through late October. Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools—posted comprehensive nutrition bids in May and June 2026 with fiscal-year terms beginning July 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 under competitive bid with a 5% Oregon-resident preference. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items in October 2026. A direct solicitation specifically naming non-GMO beet purees does not appear in the recent-opportunities block; the code shows minimal standalone activity and appears underutilized relative to the broader food-procurement volume driven by institutional food-service standardization and multi-commodity purchasing.
