UNSPSC 50624900: Non GMO nightshade purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO nightshades. 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 50624900 Non GMO nightshade purees, a Class code, does not reflect state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The sixteen opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span food service procurement across school districts, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes, but none specifically solicit nightshade purees or products matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities overwhelmingly address broad grocery supply, fresh produce, prepared foods, dairy, proteins, and consumable supplies. The issuing bodies include state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia Department of State Health Services), county school districts (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County), and special districts (individual school nutrition programs). The geographic spread spans Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri, with the heaviest recent activity in Georgia and Texas school nutrition procurement.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period value of $1.5 million, and the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026) at $13.75 per case from the prior award. School districts dominate the activity: Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) covering 45 schools with firm fixed pricing; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items and Net Off Invoice products (due April 29, 2026) under NUTRIKIDS electronic bidding; and Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas. The code shows little relevant recent activity and does not correspond to the food service and grocery supply work actually being procured.
