UNSPSC 50623903: Non GMO garden pea purees

The variety of Non GMO green peas known as Non GMO garden 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 50623903, Non GMO garden pea purees, is a Commodity code under which state and local governments solicit shelf-stable food products for institutional food service operations—primarily state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services departments. Recent opportunities show procurement officers buying canned vegetables, prepared foods, and related food-service consumables in bulk case quantities, often bundled with dozens of other commodity food lines rather than as standalone pea-puree contracts. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, state correctional systems, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state departments; Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple Georgia school districts appear most frequently in recent postings. Work under this code involves responding to IFBs and IWQs with firm unit pricing, meeting USDA grade standards and FDA compliance, providing product samples on short notice, delivering within specified windows (typically 72 hours to 7 days), and maintaining references and liability insurance documentation.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state-supported living centers and state hospitals statewide, including HHS0016792V2 (210 line items, $4.5 million maximum value over three years, responses due March 19, 2026) and HHS0018082 (22 line items for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, responses due October 23, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, due October 19, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools posted an IFB for school nutrition covering multiple food categories with delivery to four schools, due June 15, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with state and local preferences, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). These opportunities typically require F.O.B. Destination delivery, minimum three-reference verification, and compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable.
