UNSPSC 50623808: Non GMO snake gourd purees

The variety of Non GMO gourds known as Non GMO snake 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 50623808 Non GMO snake gourd purees is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The nine most recent opportunities tagged to this code span consumable food procurements by Texas state health and human services agencies, Georgia and Georgia school districts, Oregon state corrections, Illinois state facilities, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia — but none of the posted solicitations name snake gourd purees or any gourd products as line items or scope. The opportunities instead solicit shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, dairy, grains, condiments, and food service supplies for institutional cafeterias, state supported living centers, corrections facilities, and school nutrition programs. Oregon's single posting for "Potatoes, Variety" and another for "Tomato Canned" represent the only commodity-specific solicitations in the block, and neither involves gourds. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual goods being bought under it in posted state and local notices.

State and local procurement under this code, where it occurs at all, appears driven by institutional food service operations rather than specialty or ethnic food distribution. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (Lufkin and El Paso state supported living centers), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (senior services), Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois state facilities, and multiple Georgia school districts are the repeat issuing bodies visible in recent activity. The geographic concentration includes Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with no evidence of procurement activity in other states during the period shown. Because the code shows no actual snake gourd puree solicitations and the recent opportunities are generic institutional food buys, pursuing vendors in this category requires verifying whether state and local buyers have placed this specific commodity on standing contracts, cooperative purchasing agreements, or departmental vendor lists outside the IFB and RFQ notices posted between May and October 2026.
