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 representing a specialized fresh-processed vegetable category that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service operations. However, the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little relevant activity — the opportunities listed span general grocery procurement (canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, and consumable supplies) for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers, with no mention of beet purees or regalia-specific vegetable products. The code's nominal scope does not align with the work actually being solicited in the block.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food procurement across the opportunity set include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC and Illinois Veterans Home), and independent state purchasing offices. Geographic spread concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with most recent activity in spring 2026. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center food procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, covering $1.5 million historical volume), the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato procurement (ITB S2910000017145, approximately 7,616 cases due June 19, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, covering 45 schools). The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for beet purees or non-GMO specialty vegetable concentrates. Without evidence of recent demand for this commodity code, vendors should verify whether state and local procurement offices are actively tagging beet-puree opportunities under 50621921 or whether the code reflects historical taxonomy that no longer maps to current buying patterns.
