UNSPSC 50624516: Non GMO lamb’s or mache lettuce puree

The variety of Non GMO lettuce known as Non GMO lamb's lettuces. 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 50624516 Non GMO lamb's or mache lettuce puree is a Commodity code that captures specialized fresh vegetable preparations for institutional food service, though recent state and local procurement activity under this specific code is minimal and does not reflect demand for the narrowly defined product. The recent opportunities posted under this code represent broad-based food procurement across multiple product categories rather than purchases specifically targeting non-GMO lettuce puree. State and local food purchasing, when organized by UNSPSC code, typically encompasses school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and veterans homes acquiring food products through IFB, RFP, and RFQ mechanisms. The mix of issuing bodies reflects institutional food service operations spanning K-12 nutrition programs, state prison and corrections systems, state hospital and supported living centers, and state veterans facilities—all of which maintain centralized purchasing for high-volume food supply contracts.

Recent activity tagged under this code shows geographic spread across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with the heaviest volume in Georgia school districts and Texas health and human services facilities. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). The actual commodities being procured—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods—diverge substantially from the code's nominal product description. The code shows little relevant recent activity targeting non-GMO lettuce puree specifically; procurement opportunities are instead driven by volume food service demand across hundreds of line items organized by product category rather than by specialized vegetable preparations.
