UNSPSC 50624001: Non GMO basil purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO basil. 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 50624001 Non GMO basil purees is a Commodity code with limited recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears to sit at the margin of state and local food service procurement—the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for non-GMO basil purees or specialty herb purees. The fourteen opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span broader food procurement categories for school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, and corrections departments, covering fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods, but none isolate basil purees or specialty condiments as a distinct line item or solicitation focus.

State and local procurement under food-service UNSPSC codes concentrates among school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), and criminal justice facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). The geographic spread is dominated by Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products due July 13, 2026, covering HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for food products due June 15, 2026, requiring Buy American compliance across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and supplies; and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB due April 27, 2026, calling for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Basil purees do not appear as a named or solicited item in any of these opportunities, suggesting the code carries minimal procurement velocity at the state and local level or that basil products are bundled within broader produce or specialty-items categories rather than procured discretely.
