UNSPSC 50621913: Non GMO detroit 2 little ball beet purees

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO detroit 2 little ball 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 50621913 Non GMO detroit 2 little ball beet purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal product—specialty beet purees—does not appear in any of the recently posted solicitations. State and local governments are buying food products under this code primarily through institutional food service procurement for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and health departments, but the recent opportunities emphasize shelf-stable staples, prepared proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, and consumable kitchen supplies rather than beet purees or vegetable purees of any kind. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office), county departments of community services and senior services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), school nutrition programs across Georgia and other states (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), and the State of Illinois. State-supported living centers and correctional facilities appear as repeat buyers of institutional food service across Texas and Oregon.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables serving state-supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026, at 10:30 a.m.; HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026; HHS0016792V2 due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products due October 19, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026)—each sought comprehensive grocery and food service supplies for multiple school locations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for multiple warehouse distribution points (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended due date May 4, 2026). None of these solicitations specify beet purees or any vegetable puree products.
