UNSPSC 50622505: Non GMO nantes carrot purees

The variety of Non GMO carrots known as Non GMO nantes 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 50622505 Non GMO nantes carrot purees, Commodity tier, captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable food products for institutional cafeteria, food service, and nutrition programs, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for carrot purees specifically. Instead, the code appears adjacent to broader food-supply contracts where state agencies, school districts, and county governments purchase consumable food items—canned vegetables, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and related food service supplies—for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services operations. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois), state departments of corrections (Oregon), county commissions (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and other state agencies. The work solicited under this family typically bundles dozens or hundreds of line items—prepared foods, frozen specialty items, fresh vegetables, canned goods, proteins, dairy products, and food service supplies—with firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery terms, delivery windows of 7 to 72 hours from order receipt, and compliance with USDA grades, FDA standards, and Child Nutrition Act requirements where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional procurement in Illinois. Representative current opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (consumables and food service supplies for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables, due October 19, 2026); Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF (approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for warehouse distribution, response extended to May 4, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 (approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated preferences applying); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (comprehensive food bid spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and supplies across four school locations, due June 15, 2026, with Buy American Act compliance required).
