UNSPSC 50623905: Non GMO sugar snap pea purees

The variety of Non GMO green peas known as Non GMO sugar snap 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 50623905 Non GMO sugar snap pea purees (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. The code describes a narrow product category—pureed sugar snap peas with non-GMO certification—yet the recent solicitations tagged under it reflect broad, unrelated food service procurements. The Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food order (RFQ, due Feb 24, 2026) and Texas HHSC food and consumable products bids (IFB, due Jul 13, 2026) span dozens of line items across proteins, dairy, condiments, and prepared foods with no mention of snap pea purees or specialty vegetable purees. Similarly, Oregon DOC canned tomato solicitations (ITB, due Feb 9 and Jun 19, 2026), multiple school district grocery and produce bids across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas, and county-level nutrition program procurements all seek commodity food supplies at scale but do not target puree products. The code appears to be a miscategorization artifact—state and local governments are not actively soliciting non-GMO snap pea purees as a distinct line item in child nutrition, corrections, or state facility operations.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and Pacific Northwest, where school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Burke County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Liberty County Schools in Georgia; Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood School District in Missouri) and state agencies (Texas HHSC, Oregon DOC, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia state operations) issue regular food service RFPs and IFBs. Contract values range from tens of thousands for single-commodity purchases (Oregon DOC canned tomatoes at $27.75 per case; canned paste at approximately $53,000 estimated) to millions annually for comprehensive food distribution (Douglas County Schools approximately $9 million; GEC Buying Cooperative fresh produce and eggs approximately $5.5 million; Texas HHSC supplemental foods up to $4.5 million over three years). Issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs and state corrections or health services facilities. No vendor has won an award for non-GMO snap pea purees under this code; the category does not appear to represent an active procurement stream in state and local government spending.
