UNSPSC 50625304: Non GMO white acre pea purees

The variety of Non GMO peas known as Non GMO white acre 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 50625304 Non GMO white acre pea purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are procuring shelf-stable food products for institutional food service operations—primarily state health and human services agencies, correctional facilities, school districts, and county departments operating cafeterias, canteens, and nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show the code capturing a broad range of canned and packaged foods (canned tomatoes, peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, frozen vegetables, and frozen specialty entrees) rather than specifically legume purees; the code appears to serve as a catch-all taxonomy marker for institutional food procurements across multiple product lines rather than narrowing to a single commodity class. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (operating state supported living centers), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (supplying correctional facilities), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), city and county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Georgia, and the State of Illinois. The mix reflects primary reliance on state-level health, human services, and corrections agencies, with secondary activity from school nutrition programs and county social services.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs in 2026 for food and consumable products spanning state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, with response dates in June through October; the prior-period contract value for El Paso was $1.5 million annually. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas via IFB 304T-26-300CF with a response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a separate IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026, with the prior purchase at $13.75 per case. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each posted food nutrition program bids for the 2026–2027 school year in May and June 2026, encompassing hundreds of line items for multi-school delivery. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026. The code shows steady activity across institutional cafeteria and food-service supply operations but no evidence of specific non-GMO legume-puree procurement in the recent opportunities block.
