UNSPSC 50621905: Non GMO bonel beet purees

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO bonel 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 50621905 Non GMO bonel beet purees is a Commodity code that covers specialized vegetable purees and processed produce items purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service, primarily schools, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. State and local solicitations under this code reflect demand for shelf-stable, processed food components suitable for high-volume cafeteria and institutional canteen operations, where vendors supply items that meet USDA grade standards, federal nutrition labeling requirements, and state procurement specifications. Recent opportunities show that issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of education (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state facilities serving vulnerable populations. Procurement is driven by institutional food service demand across multiple states and subordinate sites, with contracts typically spanning 12 months or longer and emphasizing delivery compliance, product specification conformance, and vendor performance history through state tracking systems.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with sporadic procurement elsewhere. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (including prepared foods, sauces, and food service supplies) for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and pasta, due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better standards, delivered to Salem; and Ben Hill County Schools' June 2026 IFB covering fresh and frozen produce, meat, seafood, dairy, seasonings, and condiments across four school locations for the 2026–2027 school year. Most solicitations require F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight prepaid, delivery within three to seven days of order receipt, and minimum three verifiable references for similar contracts within the prior five years. Texas facilities issue the highest volume of food and consumable procurement notices, followed by Georgia school districts and Oregon state agencies.
