UNSPSC 50624003: Non GMO broage purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO borage. 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 50624003 Non GMO broage purees, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under it. The source records show no procurement of non-GMO broage purees; instead, the code has been applied to food service and consumable supply bids that encompass shelf-stable canned goods, prepared foods, fresh produce, proteins, dairy products, and kitchen supplies for institutional food service operations. State and local procurement offices—primarily Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities (state supported living centers and hospitals), Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County (senior services), Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state agencies, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice—are soliciting food products on a recurring basis, but none of the recent opportunities specifically name or require non-GMO broage purees as a line item or scope element.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026) covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and sauces (quotes due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (bids due June 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food products across multiple categories (bids due June 15, 2026); and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products supplying TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas with approximately 382 line items (bids due May 4, 2026). The code shows no recent relevant activity; the mismatch between the commodity name and the actual procurement scope suggests either miscoding or that broage purees are not a current state and local procurement priority.
