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, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within the broader food procurement landscape, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show little alignment with oregano itself. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and state health agencies procuring comprehensive food service supplies—produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and prepared foods—rather than specialty herb purees. The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies: school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County and Savannah-Chatham County School Systems in Georgia, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), and state veterans' facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). The bulk of solicited work falls into weekly or quarterly food distribution contracts supporting cafeteria operations, with vendors expected to deliver hundreds of line items across protein, produce, dairy, grain, and condiment categories on fixed or cost-adjusted pricing through multiyear terms.

The geographic spread reflects activity concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with standout volumes in Georgia (multiple school districts including Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, and Muscogee County), Texas (HHSC facilities statewide), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and scattered activity in Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) spanning 210 line items under firm fixed-unit pricing with a prior-period value of $1.5 million, the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with minimum 76 items required from a broader catalog, and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for one geographic area. Activity under this code shows no recent solicitations explicitly calling for non-GMO oregano purees; the code assignment appears disconnected from actual procurement content, suggesting misclassification in the state and local systems issuing these opportunities.
