UNSPSC 50624018: Non GMO perilla purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO perilla. 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 50624018 Non GMO perilla purees (Commodity) does not appear in the recent state and local solicitations reviewed. The code shows no relevant recent activity. The recent contract opportunities tagged with or related to food procurement — including consumable foods for state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, and state hospital supply — feature shelf-stable staples (canned vegetables, proteins, grains, dairy, frozen items, condiments, produce), prepared foods, and food service supplies, but do not reference perilla or perilla-based products. The opportunities represent purchases by state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, county school districts, county commissioners' offices, and state procurement divisions across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, but none of the documented solicitations align with the specialty ingredient scope of the code.

The absence of perilla puree solicitations in the recent state and local record suggests either minimal market demand for this ingredient among state and local buyers, niche use cases not yet reflected in current postings, or possible miscoding of opportunities at procurement offices. Business development professionals evaluating this code should monitor ongoing state and local nutrition and food-service RFPs and IFBs for specialty ingredient line items, particularly those serving institutional food service, but should expect limited near-term activity based on the current opportunity landscape.
