UNSPSC 50624013: Non GMO marjoram purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO marjoram. 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 50624013 Non GMO marjoram purees is a Commodity code that describes specialty herb purees meeting non-GMO standards. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little relevant activity aligned with the narrowly specified commodity. The most recent state and local contract opportunities include food product procurements for state-supported living centers, county senior services, school districts, and correctional facilities — all of which solicit broad food categories such as fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, condiments, and food service supplies rather than marjoram purees or other specialty herb products. The opportunities span Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurements (Lufkin and El Paso state-supported living centers), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These issuing bodies — state health agencies, county purchasing offices, school nutrition programs, and state corrections departments — procure shelf-stable and prepared foods at volume, but none of the recent solicitations identify marjoram purees or non-GMO specialty herbs as line items or categories within their scopes.

The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Texas representing the densest recent activity through multiple HHS Commission solicitations posted between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and soups (quotes due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food products across multiple food categories (bids due June 15, 2026). The code shows no recent state and local procurement activity specifically targeting non-GMO marjoram purees or similar specialty herb commodities; the tag appears to be a classification mismatch rather than indicative of actual buying patterns under this code.
