UNSPSC 50624517: Non GMO looseleaf lettuce purees

The variety of Non GMO lettuce known as Non GMO looseleaf 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 50624517 Non GMO looseleaf lettuce purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity despite the code's specificity. The single opportunity in the recent block—the State of Illinois's FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food order (solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026)—does not itemize lettuce purees among its specifications; the opportunity aggregates weekly food supply fulfillment under brand-specific or approved equivalents without naming individual SKUs. The broader recent-opportunities dataset reflects active procurement of fresh produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods across school districts, state corrections departments, and state health and human services facilities, but lettuce purees do not appear as a distinct line item in any of the visible RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs posted since January 2026.

State and local food procurement under neighboring commodity codes (fresh produce, frozen vegetables, canned goods) involves school nutrition programs in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri; state corrections departments in Oregon and Texas; and state health and human services facilities in Texas. However, no issuing body has solicited lettuce purees as a standalone product or service line. If the code is tagged to opportunities, it may indicate a miscoding of general produce or prepared-vegetable-product requisitions rather than procurement of pureed, non-GMO looseleaf lettuce specifically. Current market activity suggests this commodity code either carries minimal procurement volume in the state and local space, or opportunities tagged to it are not reflected in this dataset.
