UNSPSC 50621916: Non GMO formanova beet purees

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO formanova 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 50621916 Non GMO formanova beet purees is a Commodity code capturing a narrow processed-vegetable input used in institutional food service. State and local governments procure beet purees and similar vegetable concentrates primarily through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services institutions that operate centralized food service operations. The commodity sits within a broader procurement category covering canned and processed vegetables, but the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for beet purees themselves. Instead, recent state and local activity under related food-product codes emphasizes bulk fresh produce, canned vegetables, proteins, and comprehensive grocery assortments for school districts, state correctional departments, and state health agencies—suggesting that beet purees, when procured, are typically bundled into larger food-service or grocery contracts rather than solicited as standalone line items.

The issuing bodies driving food-service procurement activity across the recent dataset are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Douglas County School System and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections; Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state supported living centers and hospitals; Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy). Activity is geographically distributed across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois, with the heaviest recent concentration in Georgia school districts and Texas state facilities. No recent opportunity explicitly names UNSPSC 50621916 or identifies beet purees as a standalone procurement need; the code shows little relevant recent solicitation activity when measured against the breadth of food-service bidding occurring across state and local jurisdictions in 2026.
