UNSPSC 50624515: Non GMO iceberg lettuce purees

The variety of Non GMO lettuce known as Non GMO iceberg 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 50624515 Non GMO iceberg lettuce purees is a Commodity code with little relevant recent activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show a substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. Of the fifteen opportunities in the block, only the Illinois Veterans Home and Texas HHSC solicitations contain any food-service purchasing; the remainder are comprehensive school nutrition bids, facility food supply contracts, and produce or specialty-item procurements that do not target non-GMO iceberg lettuce purees as a specific line item or primary focus. No recent opportunity names lettuce purees—GMO status or otherwise—as a discrete product being solicited. The Illinois Veterans Home's FY-27 quarterly food order (Solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, RFQ, due June 26, 2026) covers 24 line items of diverse foods but does not detail lettuce purees; the Texas HHSC supplemental food procurement (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) encompasses food and consumable products across multiple NIGP classes for state supported living centers statewide but does not isolate lettuce purees as a deliverable. State and local procurement under this code appears dormant or untagged in the recent dataset, suggesting either low volume, consolidation into broader food-supply contracts, or systematic misclassification by issuing bodies.

Geographic and issuing-body concentration is not determinable from the available opportunities. Illinois and Texas each appear once in food-service contexts, but neither explicitly solicits non-GMO iceberg lettuce purees. The absence of relevant recent opportunities—combined with the wide scatter of school nutrition, facility food service, and general produce bids that do not address this commodity—signals that business development professionals should either verify the accuracy of this code's assignment in state procurement systems or monitor broader produce and food-service family codes (such as fresh-produce or frozen-produce commodities) where lettuce-based products may be bundled or retag over time. No contract value, incumbent vendor, or performance location specific to this commodity can be extracted from the source.
