UNSPSC 50624015: Non GMO oregano purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO oregano. 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 50624015 Non GMO oregano purees is a Commodity code for specialty food ingredients and prepared condiments. State and local governments use this code to procure shelf-stable food products—including sauces, seasonings, condiments, and prepared items like oregano purees—for institutional food service at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and health departments. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies sourcing consumable foods alongside kitchen supplies, canned goods, frozen proteins, and dairy products in bulk quantities for on-campus dining, canteen operations, and centralized distribution to multiple service locations. The work involves meeting USDA grade and FDA standards, complying with nutritional specifications, accommodating brand-or-equivalent purchasing, and delivering within tight windows—typically seven days of order receipt or 72 hours in some cases.

State health and human services commissions dominate recent activity, particularly in Texas; school districts and county governments also solicit regularly under this code. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for food and consumable products across its state-supported living centers in El Paso and Lufkin, with historical values around $1.5 million annually and maximum potential contract values exceeding $4.5 million over multi-year periods. Gwinnett County (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), and the Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat institutional buyers. Geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Texas showing the most active recent solicitation volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumable foods, due October 23, 2026, with 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies); Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including sauces and canned goods for senior services, due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, bid closed June 19, 2026, with previous award at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest).
