UNSPSC 50621918: Non GMO monaco beet purees

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO monaco 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 50621918 Non GMO monaco beet purees is a Commodity code covering specialized produce ingredients and processed vegetable products that state and local food service operations source for institutional feeding programs. Despite the specific code name, the recent opportunities solicited under this code reflect a much broader institutional food procurement activity — state health agencies, school districts, county departments, and correctional systems are issuing bids for dozens to hundreds of line items spanning fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, bakery, condiments, and disposable food service supplies. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois, Georgia, Oregon), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county governments (Gwinnett County), and state correctional and supported-living-center operators. Institutional food service contracts are typically structured as annual or multi-year agreements with firm pricing in the initial term, F.O.B. Destination delivery, seven-day order fulfillment, and mandatory compliance with USDA grade and FDA standards, HACCP plans, Buy American Act provisions where applicable, and state-specific debarment and E-Verify certifications.

Recent activity centers in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple invitations for bids on consumables and food products for state-supported living centers and hospitals, with historical contract values reaching $1.5 million annually and estimated three-year potential values up to $4.5 million across renewal options (IFB HHS0017449, HHS0018082, HHS0016792V2). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 due October 19, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) each issued comprehensive school nutrition food bids encompassing 350–400 line items for the 2026–2027 school year. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a prior purchase reference of $13.75 per case (June 2026, IFB S2910000017145). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement for cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution points encompassed approximately 382 line items across diverse categories (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026).
