UNSPSC 50623802: Non GMO bitter gourd purees

The variety of Non GMO gourds known as Non GMO bitter gourd. 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 50623802 Non GMO bitter gourd purees (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific product scope. The recent opportunities dataset contains no solicitations explicitly requesting non-GMO bitter gourd purees or similar specialty produce items. Instead, state and local bodies are procuring broad categories of shelf-stable and fresh food products—canned vegetables, frozen proteins, fresh produce, dairy, and dry goods—through school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and county social services departments. The code's narrow commodity focus does not reflect the generalist food procurement patterns evident in current state and local solicitations.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, driven primarily by large-volume procurements from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state supported living centers and state hospitals), Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon Department of Corrections, and Gwinnett County (Georgia) Board of Commissioners. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (consumable foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, with a previous award at $13.75 per case). No recent solicitations name non-GMO bitter gourd purees or comparable niche produce items, indicating this Commodity code does not capture material procurement volume or issuing-body interest at present.
