UNSPSC 50624016: Non GMO papalo purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO papalo. 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 50624016 Non GMO papalo purees, a Commodity code, does not map cleanly to recent state and local procurement activity. The two recent opportunities posted under this code—a quarterly weekly food order from the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy (RFQ, February 2026) and a food and consumable products procurement from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB, July 2026)—both solicit broad food service needs across dozens of line items including proteins, dairy, produce, and prepared foods, not papalo purees specifically. Neither solicitation names papalo or any papalo-based products in the available summaries. The code appears to be a tagging artifact rather than a reflection of actual procurement scope under this commodity designation.

State and local issuing bodies show minimal recent activity under this code. The identified opportunities span two states: Illinois (Veterans Home quarterly food orders) and Texas (state hospital and supported living center consumable products), with the Texas procurement representing the larger institutional food service scope, including multiple qualified ordering entities across the state. The Illinois opportunity reflects a smaller, single-facility food service requirement. Without evidence of papalo purees in actual recent solicitations, this code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors in that specific commodity segment.
