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) addresses produce and vegetable products, but recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect procurement of non-GMO sugar snap pea purees specifically. Instead, the code appears in state and local procurement databases alongside much broader food-service purchasing — school nutrition programs, corrections and detention facilities, state-supported living centers, and county human services — where the tagged opportunities actually solicit shelf-stable prepared foods, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, dry goods, and consumable supplies rather than specialty puree products. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of commissioners and schools (Gwinnett County, Georgia school districts, Oregon Department of Corrections), and state departments (Illinois, Oregon). The mismatch between the commodity name and the actual goods being purchased suggests this code is either infrequently used for its intended product or functions as a catch-all category in state procurement systems where food-service line items are consolidated.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple Health and Human Services Commission solicitations for state-supported living centers and state hospitals), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections canned-tomato procurement). The most recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods and supplies at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; and Oregon Department of Corrections issuing a bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, with bids due June 19, 2026 (response deadline now passed). None of the recent opportunities are tagged as seeking non-GMO sugar snap pea purees. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify actual purchasing intent with issuing agencies before investing in pursuit; the commodity name and actual buying patterns diverge significantly.
