UNSPSC 50623900: Non GMO green pea purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO green peas. 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 50623900 Non GMO green pea purees is a Class code that in practice encompasses a broad range of shelf-stable and fresh food products procured by state and local institutions — school districts, state health and human services agencies, corrections departments, and county social services — to feed residents, students, and employees. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers purchasing not just pea purees but prepared proteins (chicken wings, burritos, fish portions), fresh and frozen produce (canned tomatoes, potatoes, vegetables), dairy products, grains, condiments, sauces, and food service consumables (containers, napkins, gloves, straws). The mix of issuing bodies is dominated by state health and human services commissions procuring for state-supported living centers and state hospitals, corrections departments supplying prisons and detention facilities, school districts managing nutrition programs across multiple campuses, and county social services agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple recent IFBs for state-supported living centers (Lufkin and El Paso) and state hospitals statewide. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Texas corrections agencies also actively solicit under this code.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFBs for consumables and food products at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026) and the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), with prior-period spend of $1.5 million guiding the El Paso procurement and a three-year ceiling of $4.5 million on supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and living centers statewide. Georgia school districts posted food bids — Ben Hill County Schools (sealed bids due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026) — each covering hundreds of line items and multiple school locations. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a prior purchase price of $13.75 per case in February 2026, bids due June 19, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse regions, with a response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Illinois and Oregon also posted food procurement notices, though with limited specification detail available in the source.
