UNSPSC 50621921: Non GMO regalia beet purees

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO regalia 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 50621921 Non GMO regalia beet purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitation record shows no purchases specifically of non-GMO regalia beet purees; instead, state and local agencies are buying broad food service consumables and supplies for institutional operations—chiefly fresh, frozen, canned, and dry food products (proteins, vegetables, dairy, grains, prepared items) and food service supplies (containers, napkins, gloves, trays) in substantial volumes. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services departments running supported living centers and state hospitals, school districts procuring for nutrition programs, the state department of corrections, and county government offices. Texas dominates the recent record, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting multiple invitations; other active states include Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. The code as named appears misaligned with actual procurement patterns or the sourcing data may have been tagged to the wrong UNSPSC category.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted at least three recent institutional food solicitations: IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; IFB HHS0017872 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (posted August 11, 2026, due August 25, 2026) for consumables including prepared foods and food service supplies; and IFB HHS0018082 for Lufkin canteen and campus consumables (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) with 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies requiring seven-day delivery. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia posted a school nutrition bid (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) covering fresh, frozen, dairy, and specialty food items across four schools with Buy American requirements. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with isolated activity in Illinois and no evidence of substantial procurement under the stated commodity code.
