UNSPSC 50625305: Non GMO blackeyed pea purees

The variety of Non GMO peas known as Non GMO blackeyed 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 50625305 Non GMO blackeyed pea purees, a Commodity code, addresses shelf-stable legume products for institutional food service operations. State and local governments buy this item almost exclusively as part of broader food-service procurement covering fresh, frozen, and canned proteins, vegetables, grains, and consumables for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The code appears narrowly in recent solicitations — none of the posted opportunities explicitly solicit blackeyed pea purees as a line item — suggesting this product sits within larger, multipurpose food RFPs and IFBs rather than being procured as a standalone commodity. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, state correctional departments, county boards of commissioners, county schools, and regional school districts. State-supported living centers in Texas appear frequently in recent postings, as does the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and Gwinnett County in Georgia.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple food and consumable IFBs during the past four months—HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026), HHS0017872 (Lufkin, due August 25, 2026), and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 11, 2026)—all soliciting prepared foods and consumables on F.O.B. Destination terms with three-to-seven-day delivery windows and vendor reference and compliance documentation requirements. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a canned-tomatoes IFB (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences. Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026) solicited comprehensive food line-item bids covering hundreds of products, while Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for shelf-stable foods (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). The code shows no recent standalone or category-specific activity for non-GMO blackeyed pea purees; purchasing professionals should monitor food-service RFPs and IFBs from institutional buyers rather than expect dedicated solicitations under this commodity code.
