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 with no recent state and local procurement activity. The source includes a single representative opportunity from the State of Illinois (IVHQ Quincy) soliciting weekly food orders under a brand-specific or equal RFQ model, but the scope explicitly covers multiple general food product lines rather than non-GMO snake gourd purees specifically. The remaining fourteen opportunities in the dataset involve school district nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, and correctional departments procuring fresh produce, canned tomatoes, dairy products, proteins, prepared foods, and broad-line grocery items—none of which name or reference non-GMO snake gourd purees as a specification or line item.

State and local procurement activity under this code tier does not appear to reflect the narrow commodity definition. School districts and state agencies across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri are actively soliciting food and produce through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs, but the solicitations target commodity-level items such as specific canned vegetables, fresh fruit and vegetable varieties, and prepared entrees rather than specialty purees. The geographic spread spans multiple regions with concentrated school nutrition activity in Georgia and Texas, but no evidence supports demand for non-GMO snake gourd purees as a procured item in these markets. This code may be misaligned with actual state and local procurement patterns in the food service category, or the commodity itself sees minimal uptake in public-sector nutrition programs.
