UNSPSC 50625003: Non GMO clemson spineless okra purees

The variety of Non GMO okra known as Non GMO clemson spineless okra. 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 50625003 Non GMO clemson spineless okra purees (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement primarily as a line item within broader food service solicitations for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies, though the recent opportunities block shows no standalone procurement for this specific product and instead reflects general food purchasing across multiple categories by diverse state and local buyers.

State and local government procurement under this code occurs through school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and county school systems acquiring food supplies for child nutrition programs, institutional food service, and congregate meal operations. The issuing bodies span multiple states and include school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Ben Hill County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home). Recent solicitations show substantial institutional food procurement activity across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois, with school districts representing the plurality of issuing bodies. 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 (IFB, response date July 11, 2026, historical value $1.5 million); Ben Hill County Schools Food Bid (IFB, response date June 15, 2026, multi-category food procurement); and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 term contract 2000004323 (IFB, response date April 27, 2026, 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens). The code shows minimal standalone activity for specialty vegetable purees; state and local procurement of okra purees, if any, occurs as one line item within comprehensive food supply bids covering hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods rather than as dedicated single-product solicitations.
