UNSPSC 50621906: Non GMO burpees golden beet purees

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO burpees golden 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 50621906 Non GMO burpees golden beet purees, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement with minimal recent activity directly aligned to the code's specific product scope. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for non-GMO beet purees or specialty vegetable products with that designation. Instead, state and local governments soliciting under this code area are procuring broad food and consumable products for institutional food service — schools, corrections facilities, state health and human services agencies, and veterans homes — with produce, canned vegetables, and food staples dominating recent bids. The issuing bodies are school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county boards of education across Georgia. The geographic spread spans Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri, with school districts and state departments of correction and health and human services as the dominant repeat buyers.

Representative recent opportunities show little correlation to non-GMO beet purees specifically. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers, with historical value of $1.5 million for the prior 12 months; the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases due June 19, 2026 under S2910000017145) and tomato paste (due March 9, 2026 under S2910000016089). Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for a Master Grocery K-12 contract supplying 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens. The Douglas County School System issued RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution to 32 schools with estimated annual value of $9 million. None of these solicitations reference non-GMO beet purees or specialty vegetable purees as line items. The code's nominal product scope does not align with the institutional food-service commodities and fresh or processed produce actually being bought, suggesting either historical miscoding of opportunities or minimal state and local procurement demand for this specific product.
