UNSPSC 50624408: Non GMO tarahumara pinks lentil purees

The variety of Non GMO lentils known as Non GMO tarahumara pinks lentils. 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 50624408 Non GMO tarahumara pinks lentil purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no activity matching the nominal scope. The opportunities recorded under the code involve mainstream institutional food procurement—canned tomatoes, potatoes, frozen and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies for state supported living centers, corrections facilities, school districts, and county senior services. None of the posted solicitations reference lentil purees, non-GMO specialty legumes, or the tarahumara pink variety. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities are tagged to this code or that the commodity itself sees minimal state and local procurement activity worthy of separate tracking.

The issuing bodies pursuing food procurement under related commodity codes span Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice), Oregon state agencies (Department of Corrections), Georgia county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Illinois state procurement, and Texas school districts. Recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables serving El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato bid S2910000017145 (due June 2026 at 7,616 cases), and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid PE61000NONST2027000000006 (due June 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional solicitations from Illinois. If tarahumara pink lentil purees are sourced at all by state and local buyers, they do not surface in current competitive bidding records under this code.
