UNSPSC 50625300: Non GMO pea purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO peas. 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 50625300 Non GMO pea purees is a Class code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code captures specialty food products — non-GMO purees and similar plant-based prepared foods — but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations matching this specific commodity. The closest recent activities involve broader food procurement across multiple categories (fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, condiments, and prepared items) issued by school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes, but none explicitly call for non-GMO pea purees or similar legume purees as a line item. The code's narrow scope — a single plant-based ingredient category with organic or non-GMO specification — does not align with the general-commodity food buys that dominate current state and local procurement under related food codes.

Issuing bodies soliciting food procurement include Illinois Veterans Homes (RFQ), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB), Oregon Department of Corrections (ITB), school districts across Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri (IFB and RFP), and county school systems. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Midwest (Illinois, Missouri, Virginia), with the heaviest volume in school nutrition programs. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS El Paso State Supported Living Center food procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, covering food and consumables with historical value of $1.5 million), Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, for 7,616 cases), Ben Hill County Schools food bid (IFB, due June 15, 2026, covering fresh and frozen produce through prepared foods), and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). None of these solicitations identifies non-GMO pea purees as a specified line item or category. This code shows little actionable recent opportunity for vendors focused on non-GMO legume purees; pursuit would require identifying specialized school meal programs or health-facility food services that explicitly source plant-based protein components.
