UNSPSC 50621912: Non GMO detroit 2 dark red beet purees

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO detroit 2 dark red 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 50621912 Non GMO Detroit 2 dark red beet purees is a Commodity code covering specialized processed vegetable products for institutional food service. The code sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement, with no opportunities directly soliciting beet purees appearing in the current market. The recent opportunities tagged under or near this code instead reflect broad institutional food procurement across multiple product categories—fresh produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods—rather than targeted demand for a specific beet puree product line. School districts, state health agencies, and state correctional facilities drive the bulk of institutional food buying in the region, but the purchasing pattern skews toward commodity-level items and bundled food service contracts that treat beet purees, if procured at all, as line items within much larger grocery or produce awards rather than as standalone solicitations.

State and local buyers for institutional food service span school nutrition programs in Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, Texas, and Oregon; state health and human services agencies in Texas; state correctional departments in Oregon; and state veterans homes in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issuing an IFB for Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery with response deadline April 27, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers with response deadline July 13, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with an estimated annual value of approximately $9,000,000 and response deadline February 18, 2026. These large, multipurpose food service contracts typically bundle hundreds of line items and award on a competitive basis to distributors or vendors meeting specifications and price targets. Opportunities to sell specialized beet puree products under this code would likely come through inclusion as a line item within these broader solicitations rather than as standalone competitive procurements.
