UNSPSC 50621919: Non GMO monogram beet purees

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO monogram 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 50621919 Non GMO monogram beet purees is a Commodity code that in practice covers a narrow slice of institutional food procurement—fresh and preserved vegetable products for state and local agency food service operations. Recent opportunities under this code show state health and human services agencies, school districts, and correctional departments purchasing broad arrays of shelf-stable and fresh foods rather than beet purees specifically; the code's nominal scope does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominate recent activity, issuing multiple IFBs for consumable foods, supplemental food and consumables for state supported living centers and hospitals, and cafeteria food products spanning hundreds of line items including proteins, dairy, grains, canned vegetables, and condiments. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and the Oregon Department of Corrections also actively solicit under related food categories. Issuing bodies across these opportunities include state health and human services departments, state correctional agencies, and independent school districts—institutional food-service buyers with steady, high-volume procurement cycles tied to fiscal-year budgets and school-year calendars.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas HHSC posted IFBs in June and August 2026 for supplemental food and consumables with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years (HHS0016792V2, June 11, 2026; HHS0017449, July 13 response deadline) and for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (HHS0018082, October 23, 2026 response deadline). The Texas Comptroller's office issued an IFB for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products (304T26300CF) with a May 4, 2026 response deadline extended via addendum. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for comprehensive food products due June 15, 2026, and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) solicited school nutrition food with a June 5, 2026 response deadline. The Oregon Department of Corrections bid on approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, and posted a separate potato variety bid (S2910000017460, July 27, 2026) with limited documentation. Gwinnett County (Georgia) issued an informal written quote for food items due October 19, 2026. The code shows no recent activity supporting procurement of beet purees specifically; opportunities under related commodity codes emphasize standard institutional food staples and bulk provisioning rather than specialty vegetable products.
