UNSPSC 50621917: Non GMO forono beet purees

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO forono 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 50621917 Non GMO forono beet purees is a Commodity code that does not map to the food and consumable products currently being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent-opportunities block shows nine active solicitations tagged to this code, but none request beet purees—GMO or non-GMO. The actual products being purchased are shelf-stable staple foods including canned tomatoes, canned vegetables, rice, pasta, peanut butter, jelly, proteins, condiments, and prepared frozen items such as french fries, chicken wings, and burritos, along with food service supplies such as containers, napkins, and straws. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, county school districts, and school nutrition programs. Texas appears most frequently as a buyer, with multiple solicitations from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, though Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois also show recent activity.

Geographically, Texas dominates the recent record with four opportunities posted between May and October 2026, while Georgia accounts for three school nutrition procurements and Oregon for two. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing a solicitation (due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences, and Ben Hill County Schools issuing IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food products across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and supplies serving four schools. The code shows no meaningful activity in non-GMO beet purees and should be considered misfiled for that product family; business development professionals seeking beet-puree opportunities should verify the correct UNSPSC classification independently.
