UNSPSC 50622502: Non GMO autumn king carrot purees

The variety of Non GMO carrots known as Non GMO autumn king 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 50622502 Non GMO autumn king carrot purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy processed vegetable products under this code, but the recent opportunity record shows no solicitations explicitly tagged to carrot purees. Instead, activity in the broader vegetable-product and food-service space reflects state agencies, counties, school districts, and correctional systems procuring shelf-stable canned and fresh produce, frozen vegetables, and prepared food items for institutional food service. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of health and human services, state supported living centers, departments of corrections, county and municipal purchasing offices, and school nutrition programs across multiple states. Work being solicited includes food service supply contracts for state facilities, correctional institutions, senior centers, and school cafeterias—ranging from single-item produce bids to comprehensive multi-category food procurement spanning hundreds of line items with specifications for USDA grade compliance, sodium content limits, shelf-life requirements, and delivery schedules.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with historical contract value guidance of $1.5 million annually and maximum potential values reaching $4.5 million over three years. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with delivery to Salem, Oregon, offering a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated or resident-bidder responses. School districts in Georgia—Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and Gwinnett County (which issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products)—have posted food procurement bids with contract periods typically running July through June and Buy American Act compliance required. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations under IFB 304T-26-300CF with an extended response date of May 4, 2026. The code itself shows limited direct match to current solicitations; state and local procurement under related food-service categories appears more active than carrot-puree-specific opportunities.
