UNSPSC 50625405: Non GMO cubanelles pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO cubanelles 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 50625405 Non GMO cubanelles pepper purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's specificity—a single produce item in puree form with a non-GMO designation—does not match the broad food procurement patterns currently active in the source opportunities. State and local government food purchasing under related codes focuses on staple fresh and processed produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and comprehensive grocery line items in volume, not specialty pepper purees.

The recent opportunities span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI and Douglas County School Systems in Missouri and Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services facilities (Texas HHSC; Illinois Veterans Home), and county school boards across Georgia and Missouri. These buyers source hundreds of line items—fresh produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments—through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs with response dates ranging from February through July 2026. Representative procurements include the Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumable products (IFB, due July 13, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato bid (ITB, approximately 7,616 cases, February 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB, due April 27, 2026, spanning 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens). Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia. Volumes are substantial—Douglas County School System's food supply contract supports 32,000 daily meals across 32 schools at approximately nine million dollars annually; the GEC Buying Cooperative fresh produce and eggs RFP spans 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of 4.4 million dollars for one geographic area alone. No recent opportunity tags this code or procures non-GMO cubanelles pepper purees specifically, indicating the commodity sits outside current state and local buying patterns or is purchased under broader produce or ingredient classifications.
