UNSPSC 50624014: Non GMO mint purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO mint. 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 50624014 Non GMO mint purees is a Commodity code that encompasses branded or specialty mint-based food ingredients and prepared products sourced by state and local institutional food service operations. Recent activity shows the code tagged to multipurpose food service solicitations by state health and human services agencies, county nutrition programs, and school districts, though the posted opportunities describe broader consumable food bundles rather than mint purees specifically. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments of health and human services (Texas, Illinois), county boards of commissioners and school districts (Georgia, Oregon), and state correctional agencies. The work actually being solicited consists of bulk food service procurement for institutional cafeterias, supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs — line-item bids for prepared foods, frozen proteins, canned goods, fresh produce, dairy, and food service supplies with delivery to multiple campus or facility locations and compliance requirements including USDA standards, HACCP plans, Buy American Act provisions where applicable, and debarment certifications.

Recent solicitations are concentrated in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller for TDCJ), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, State of Georgia), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections). Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumable foods, 22 line items, bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, quotes due October 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (school food bid spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations, bids due June 15, 2026), and Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with 5 percent Oregon resident preference (bids due June 19, 2026, prior award $13.75 per case). Most contracts run twelve months with renewal options, require FOB Destination delivery within seven days of order, firm fixed pricing, and vendor references demonstrating prior experience with similar-scope institutional food service.
