UNSPSC 50624514: Non GMO green leaf lettuce purees

The variety of Non GMO lettuce known as Non GMO green leaf 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 50624514 Non GMO green leaf lettuce purees is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows little relevant recent solicitation history — the opportunities tagged to it in state and local databases span fresh produce, canned goods, eggs, prepared entrees, dairy, and broad-category food procurement, none of which align with the narrow scope of non-GMO green leaf lettuce purées. State and local jurisdictions sourcing general food products and school nutrition supplies do not appear to be soliciting lettuce purées as a standalone line item or commodity class.

The most recent state and local food procurement opportunities in the source material involve school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional departments across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Georgia, and Virginia procuring comprehensive food supply contracts covering dozens to hundreds of line items — canned tomatoes, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and kitchen supplies — under RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notices with response dates ranging from February through June 2026. These agencies treat food procurement as multi-category purchasing vehicles with unit pricing on aggregated demand rather than as single-product specifications. The absence of any posted opportunity specifically requesting non-GMO green leaf lettuce purées across major state and local procurement channels, coupled with broad food procurement patterns favoring fresh and processed whole foods over purées, suggests the code does not currently represent active state and local buying activity worth pursuing. Vendor pursuit of this category should remain on watch pending evidence of specific state or local purée procurement initiatives.
