UNSPSC 50624010: Non GMO epazote purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO epazote. 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 50624010 Non GMO epazote purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single fresh or processed herb product, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not support that scope. The ten most recent opportunities tagged with this code span institutional food service procurement for state health agencies, corrections facilities, school districts, and county social services — encompassing hundreds of line items for fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and food service supplies. The code shows little relevant recent activity for epazote purees specifically; the opportunities reflect broad consumables food buys where the commodity code appears to be a misapplication or default classification rather than the actual product family being sourced. Issuers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (appearing in multiple opportunities for state supported living centers and state hospitals), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), the State of Georgia, the State of Illinois, and independent school districts across multiple states.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with a historical annual value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) at an estimated prior-purchase price of $13.75 per case; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items to supply five geographic warehouse areas (extended due date May 4, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food and supplies (due June 15, 2026) with quarterly pricing adjustments; and Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026). Buyers emphasize firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, USDA compliance, vendor references, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 per occurrence. The code does not demonstrate consistent activity for epazote purees; pursuit should focus on identifying whether institutional food service buys in your geography are tagged under this or adjacent commodity codes.
