UNSPSC 50622500: Non GMO carrot purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO carrots. 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 50622500 Non GMO carrot purees (Class) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The ten most recent opportunities show no purchases of carrot puree or related vegetable purees; instead, they document broad-based food service procurement for schools, correctional facilities, veterans homes, and state health and human services centers across multiple states. The code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns have diverged, signaling minimal current market activity for this specific commodity among state and local buyers.

Recent opportunities under this code tag span school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and state-supported living centers across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri. The purchases instead cover bulk food supply contracts encompassing hundreds of line items—fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, prepared entrees, and consumable supplies—with individual solicitations from entities including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB HHS0017449 and HHS0016792, both seeking food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers), the Oregon Department of Corrections (ITB S2910000015837 and S2910000016089 for canned tomatoes and tomato paste), Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323 Master Grocery K-12), and the Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs). The code shows no recent solicitations specifically naming non-GMO carrot puree or similar vegetable puree products as line items. Business development professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC coding applied to puree-specific opportunities before investing pursuit resources in this classification.
