UNSPSC 50624520: Non GMO red headed lettuce purees

The variety of Non GMO lettuce known as Non GMO red headed 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 50624520 Non GMO red headed lettuce purees (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity captured in the recent opportunities block. The solicitations posted under this code span fresh produce, canned and frozen vegetables, dairy products, proteins, grains, condiments, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, state facilities, and correctional institutions — but none reference lettuce purees, whether GMO or non-GMO, in their scope. The recent opportunities show state and local governments buying broad food service portfolios through IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs rather than specialty vegetable products by botanical type or processing method.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), and county systems (Muscogee County School District in Georgia). Geographic activity spans Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomatoes ITB S2910000017145 due June 19, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific commodity it nominates.
