UNSPSC 50624026: Non GMO tumeric purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO tumeric. 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 50624026 Non GMO turmeric purees (Commodity) is a narrowly defined product category that sees negligible recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—turmeric puree products meeting non-GMO specifications—does not align with the recent solicitations posted under this classification. The opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad food-service procurement for school nutrition programs, state-supported living facilities, correctional institutions, and state veterans homes, spanning categories including canned vegetables (tomatoes, tomato paste), fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, grains, and institutional food supplies. None of these recent solicitations explicitly name turmeric purees or turmeric-based products as line items; the code assignment appears to be a classification mismatch rather than a signal of active market demand for this specific commodity.

Issuing bodies across recent opportunities are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Ben Hill County Schools and multiple Georgia school systems; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department), and one county school system (Douglas County). Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon). No recent state and local opportunity in the source explicitly solicits turmeric purees or products matching the code's intended scope; the most recent tagged opportunity—Illinois Veterans Home's quarterly food order (due June 26, 2026)—covers generic weekly food supply without specification of turmeric-based items. The code shows little or no relevant current market activity and warrants a skip unless turmeric products are being sourced under broader commodity food codes not yet visible in this dataset.
