UNSPSC 50625306: Non GMO zipper cream pea purees

The variety of Non GMO peas known as Non GMO zipper cream 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 50625306 Non GMO zipper cream pea purees is a Commodity code that frames a narrow food product line, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged with this code show little activity aligned with the nominal scope. The source records 16 recent state and local solicitations, none of which specifically request cream pea purees or legume purees—the code's stated commodity. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food service procurement across fresh produce, canned goods, dairy, proteins, seasonings, condiments, and general grocery supply for state institutions, school districts, and correctional facilities. This mismatch suggests either misclassification of opportunities in the procurement system or that the code sits unused as a distinct line item in current solicitation practice. The issuing bodies include state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts and school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Muscogee County School System), and one county corrections department.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with heavy representation from Georgia (multiple school districts, state procurement), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, state purchasing), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). School nutrition programs and state institutional food service dominate the issuing-body mix, with contract values ranging from under $50,000 for specialized produce to $9 million annually for comprehensive food distribution. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Supplemental Food & Consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers with a historical value of $1.5 million per period; the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato ITB (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases; and the Douglas County Schools GEC Buying Cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) serving 30 districts with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million across two areas. The code shows no relevant recent activity as a standalone procurement category and warrants investigation into whether cream pea purees are procured only as components within larger commodity categories or through cooperative purchasing arrangements.
