UNSPSC 50623202: Non GMO Nasturtium purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO nasturtium. 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 50623202 Non GMO Nasturtium purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specialty botanical puree product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show no procurement of nasturtium purees. Instead, the recent opportunities span broad consumable food and food service supply procurement for state institutions, school districts, and correctional facilities — including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy products, canned and fresh vegetables, fruits, condiments, and disposable food service supplies such as containers, napkins, and straws. The issuing bodies consist primarily of state health and human services departments (notably the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, appearing multiple times), state correctional departments, county school districts, and local purchasing offices. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity suggests this code is a catch-all tag for general food service consumables rather than a precise identifier of nasturtium products.

Recent opportunities appear across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers, including HHS0017449 for the El Paso facility (due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million) and HHS0018082 for the Lufkin facility (IFB due October 23, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote request (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods due October 19, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia posted school nutrition food bids in May–June 2026 encompassing hundreds of line items across multiple food categories. The Oregon Department of Corrections sought 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bid due June 19, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products for warehouse distribution across five geographic areas (IFB due May 4, 2026). No recent opportunities targeting nasturtium purees specifically appear in the available record.
