UNSPSC 50625200: Non GMO peanut purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO peanuts. 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 50625200 Non-GMO peanut purees, a Class code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The source provides no recent opportunities specifically soliciting non-GMO peanut puree products or any nut butter-derived items under this code. Recent state and local food procurements in the source instead target broad grocery categories—fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods—for school nutrition programs, state institutions, and corrections facilities, with no evidence of specialized nut or legume puree sourcing.

The absence of recent activity under this code reflects the commodity's narrow end use within state and local procurement. When peanut products do appear in institutional food procurement, they typically arrive as components of broader grocery line-item bids managed by large distributors or appear as brand-name items within net-off-invoice (NOI) agreements negotiated at the state or cooperative purchasing level rather than through direct solicitations. School districts, state health agencies, and corrections departments in Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Oregon, and Texas—the jurisdictions with the highest recent food procurement activity in the source—have not posted independent solicitations for peanut purees. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative (active across Georgia school districts) and state master agreements in Texas and Missouri, where commodity food pricing is often redetermined quarterly, but should expect the code to see minimal standalone RFP, RFQ, or IFB activity.
