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, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product category within state and local food procurement, though the recent opportunities dataset shows no direct solicitations for garden pea purees as a standalone item. Instead, pea products and purees appear embedded within broader food service contracts where state agencies, school districts, and institutional facilities source vegetables and processed foods as line items within comprehensive meal-supply procurements. The recent opportunities reflect what state and local governments actually buy under food-service codes: weekly food orders for veteran facilities, quarterly produce and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers, and annual grocery and fresh-produce contracts for school nutrition programs. Issuing bodies span state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County, Burke County, Ben Hill County, Douglas County, Muscogee County), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). School districts dominate recent activity, typically procuring 200–900+ line items annually across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods to serve 6,900–25,500 students.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia, Texas, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide supplemental food and consumable procurement (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million); the Douglas County School System's Fresh Produce and Eggs solicitation through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas (RFP SN 26-004, response due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spending $5.5 million combined); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, response due April 27, 2026, serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato procurement (ITB S2910000016405, response due June 19, 2026, eight truckloads at $13.75 per case historical pricing). None of these solicitations name pea purees explicitly, suggesting the commodity code has limited discrete demand signal in current state and local activity—buyers source vegetables and prepared foods under aggregated food-service contracts rather than through category-specific vegetable-puree tenders.
