UNSPSC 50625006: Non GMO red velvet okra purees

The variety of Non GMO okra known as Non GMO red velvet 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 50625006 Non GMO red velvet okra purees, a Commodity code, shows no recent activity matching its nominal scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are not requesting red velvet okra purees or okra products of any kind. The most-recent-opportunities block contains seventeen food procurement solicitations across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia—spanning school districts, state corrections departments, state health agencies, and state veterans homes—but none reference okra, okra purees, or specialty vegetable purees. The opportunities instead target broad food service procurement categories including proteins, dairy, produce, canned goods, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous staple items. The code's narrow commodity definition does not align with the commodity baskets state and local governments are actually buying.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with eight of the seventeen posted opportunities from Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). State agencies—the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home, and State of Georgia—account for the remainder. The geographic spread is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with material activity also in Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 11, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for a comprehensive food bid covering fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and staple items (response due June 15, 2026). The code itself does not reflect what state and local procurement offices are acquiring.
