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 (Commodity) appears in state and local food procurement primarily as one line item among dozens in multi-category food-service solicitations, most commonly for institutional dining at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. Recent opportunities show peanut butter and peanut products are specified alongside canned proteins, condiments, oils, and prepared foods to support resident, student, and inmate meal service. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections), county and municipal governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools), state departments (Illinois, Georgia), and school districts across the Southeast and Texas. State agencies managing institutional food service appear most frequently, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting multiple solicitations for state-supported living center food supplies over the past five months.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumable foods, bids due October 23, 2026) and IFB HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical annual spend of $1.5 million, bids due July 13, 2026) as comprehensive food-service contracts spanning 20–22 line items with peanut products embedded within the broader scope. The largest recent solicitation, HHS0016792v2 (supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide, 210 line items, March 19, 2026 deadline), included peanut products as one component. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (food items for Community Services, October 19, 2026 deadline) and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (school nutrition program, June 15, 2026 deadline, Buy American required) are representative municipal and school-district buyers. Oregon Department of Corrections posted S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, June 19, 2026) and S2910000017460 for potatoes, signaling that produce and prepared-food categories dominate Oregon's recent institutional food procurement. No solicitation in the recent-opportunities block isolates peanut purees as a standalone procurement.
