UNSPSC 50623809: Non GMO spiny bitter gourd purees

The variety of Non GMO gourds known as Non GMO spiny 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 50623809 Non GMO spiny bitter gourd purees is a Commodity code, but state and local governments show minimal recent procurement activity aligned with this narrow product specification. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting spiny bitter gourd purees or similar botanical-specific food items. Instead, state and local food procurement under related codes focuses on broad consumable food categories — canned vegetables, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, and food service supplies — typically sourced through general food service vendors rather than specialty ingredient suppliers.

The issuing bodies soliciting food and consumables include state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission, which appeared twice), state departments of corrections (Oregon DOC), state education boards (Georgia, Illinois), county schools (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state purchasing divisions coordinating on behalf of departments like the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 show activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumable foods, due October 23, 2026), which encompasses 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items, due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026). These solicitations pursue standard institutional food service suppliers rather than specialty producers. The code shows no recent state or local contract opportunities directly aligned with spiny bitter gourd purees; vendors in that niche segment should monitor related food-commodity codes for broader produce or international ingredient categories.
