UNSPSC 50625302: Non GMO pinkeye pea purees

The variety of Non GMO peas known as Non GMO pinkeye 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 50625302 Non GMO pinkeye pea purees, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity, with no posted opportunities specifically requesting this product. The recent solicitations tagged under this code—including Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food orders, Texas health and human services food procurement, Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato and tomato paste bids, Georgia and Missouri school district nutrition programs, and produce requests from county school systems—center on general food supply, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees rather than legume purees. None of the posted opportunities explicitly name pinkeye pea purees or legume-based products as line items in their scopes of work.

State and local government food procurement under food-related codes is dominated by school districts and institutional health and human services providers across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Recent activity shows school nutrition programs at Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County and Liberty County School Systems (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing annual or quarterly food bids with response deadlines spanning February through June 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission procures food for state hospitals and supported living centers on a statewide basis with contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years. Oregon Department of Corrections issues frequent produce and prepared-food bids. Buyers emphasize Buy American compliance, USDA grade standards, nutritional specifications limiting sodium and fat, and delivery frequency ranging from weekly to as-needed. The absence of pinkeye pea purees in any recent posted opportunity suggests either minimal commodity-code alignment or limited demand for this specialty legume product in current state and local nutrition programming.
