UNSPSC 50624901: Non GMO chinese lantern purees

The variety of Non GMO nightshades known as Non GMO chinese lantern. 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 50624901 Non GMO chinese lantern purees is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not feature chinese lantern purees or products materially similar to it. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover broad food supply contracts for institutional food service — state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state hospitals — encompassing shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, bakery items, condiments, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state procurement), county boards of commissioners and school districts (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state comptroller offices. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit chinese lantern purees or non-GMO specialty fruit products under this code.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (multiple Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitations for state supported living centers and hospitals), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned tomato procurement). The most recent representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods and supplies at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods for senior services, and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026). The code shows no meaningful procurement pipeline for chinese lantern purees or related specialty botanical products; the categorization appears misaligned with the actual buying activity tagged under it.
