UNSPSC 50625205: Non GMO valencia peanut purees

The variety of Non GMO peanuts known as Non GMO valencia 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 50625205 Non GMO valencia peanut purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for peanut purees or similar nut butter products; instead, the most recent activities tagged to this code consist of broad food-supply and food-service opportunities spanning fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees for school districts, state institutions, and corrections facilities across multiple states. These opportunities reflect standard institutional food procurement—weekly grocery orders, quarterly food contracts for detention facilities, school nutrition programs, and state hospital supply—but do not isolate or target peanut butter or nut purees as a distinct line item or primary focus area. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the broad food-supply nature of recent opportunities suggests that peanut purees, when procured by state and local bodies, are typically bundled as one line item within larger food-service RFPs rather than solicited as standalone commodities.

State and local buyers using this code would include school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Douglas County School System in Georgia are recent examples), corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state institutions such as veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy). Geographic spread of recent activity appears concentrated in the South and Midwest (Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, Virginia), though the activities tagged to this code do not target peanut purees specifically. Practitioners pursuing nut butter or specialty food-ingredient contracts should monitor school nutrition RFPs and institutional food-service IFBs directly rather than rely on this commodity code as a primary filter, as the code appears misaligned with actual procurement demand signals in the recent market.
