UNSPSC 50624510: Non GMO baby red romaine lettuce purees

The variety of Non GMO lettuce known as Non GMO baby red romaine lettuce. 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 50624510 Non GMO baby red romaine lettuce purees is a Commodity code representing a highly specific food product, yet state and local governments buying under this code are procuring it as part of broad consumables and food-service portfolios rather than as a standalone specialty item. The recent opportunities do not show dedicated solicitations for baby red romaine lettuce purees in isolation; instead, the code appears in purchasing contexts where multiple food products and supplies are bundled together—fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and food-service disposables. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments operating institutional care facilities, county departments of community services, and school districts, each using food procurement to support cafeterias, nutrition programs, and congregate dining operations. Work solicited under this code—when it appears at all in recent state and local activity—is commodity purchasing with firm, fixed unit pricing, F.O.B. Destination delivery, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and typically a 7-to-30-day order-to-delivery window.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables at state-supported living centers (HHS0018082, HHS0017872, HHS0017449, HHS0016792V2), with response dates from May through October 2026 and estimated annual values ranging from $1.5 million to $4.5 million across multi-year terms. Gwinnett County, Georgia posted an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a procurement for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026. However, no recent opportunity explicitly names non-GMO baby red romaine lettuce purees or identifies this code as the primary commodity being purchased; the code shows little standalone recent activity among the opportunities posted in the past four months.
