UNSPSC 50625404: Non GMO chilaca pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO chilaca peppers. 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 50625404 Non GMO chilaca pepper purees, a Commodity code, does not show meaningful recent state and local procurement activity under its specific scope. The source contains ten recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code, but only one — a June 2026 Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide — explicitly mentions peppers among 210 line items of broader food products. The remaining nine solicitations address canned tomatoes (Oregon Department of Corrections, June 2026), potatoes (Oregon, July 2026), generic food and kitchen items (Texas HHS, multiple facilities; Georgia; Illinois; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia; Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia), with no reference to chilaca pepper purees or any pepper purée product line in their posted scopes. The mismatch between the code's nominal product and the actual procurement activity suggests either overly broad categorization in the source data or that chilaca pepper purees do not constitute a distinct line item in recent state and local food service procurements.

Issuing bodies across the opportunities are predominantly state-level agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, both Georgia), and county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia). The geographic spread reflects activity in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois, with the heaviest concentration in Texas and Georgia. None of these solicitations identify chilaca pepper purees as a stand-alone product, and the code shows no evidence of dedicated vendor pursuit or meaningful procurement volume under its specific commodity designation.
