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 sees virtually no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code consist overwhelmingly of broad food-service and cafeteria food solicitations by state health and human services departments, correctional facilities, school districts, and county social-services agencies—none of which reference lettuce puree, GMO status, specialty greens, or prepared vegetable products as line items or even as illustrative examples. The opportunities instead request standard commodity proteins (beef, chicken, fish), frozen prepared entrees, dairy products, canned vegetables, fresh produce, staples, and food-service supplies. One posting references generic "fresh and frozen produce" without specificity; another covers "canned tomatoes" and "potatoes" as distinct commodities. The code appears to have been assigned to these solicitations as a catch-all taxonomy marker rather than as a precise descriptor of goods actually being procured.

The issuing bodies are state-level health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois), state correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county social-services and school-nutrition programs (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and a school district in Texas (Ben Hill County Schools). Opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with activity spanning May through October 2026. Given the absence of any recent solicitation for lettuce puree or comparable specialty vegetable preparations under this code, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for near-term pursuit and monitor whether future postings introduce the product category the code nominally describes.
