UNSPSC 50625406: Non GMO fresno pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO fresno 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 50625406 Non GMO fresno pepper purees, a Commodity code, sees narrow and inconsistent recent procurement activity in state and local government—the code does not map cleanly to the food service and grocery solicitations that dominate the recent-opportunities block. The four opportunities explicitly tagged to this code or nearby pepper-related categories include one Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food order (RFQ, due February 24, 2026), one Texas Health and Human Services Commission food and consumable products procurement (IFB, due July 13, 2026), one Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato bid (ITB, due June 19, 2026), and one Ben Hill County Schools food procurement (IFB, due June 15, 2026). None of these solicitations specifically name fresno pepper purees or non-GMO pepper purees as a line item; instead, they reflect broad school nutrition and institutional food service categories spanning proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and prepared foods. The code appears to be a catch-all categorization for specialty pepper products within larger food service contracts rather than a dedicated procurement vehicle.

Activity is geographically scattered across Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Georgia, reflecting state agencies and school districts buying general food supplies rather than targeted fresno pepper puree procurement. Recent solicitations frame this code as a small subset—if present at all—within much larger institutional feeding operations: Texas HHSC's supplemental food and consumables IFB covers 210 line items including condiments and specialty items, Douglas County Schools' cooperative purchasing RFP encompasses approximately 72 produce line items across 30 school districts, and Oregon DOC's canned tomato bid seeks approximately 7,616 cases as part of correctional-facility food supply. None of the source materials identify fresno pepper purees as a standalone, regularly procured commodity. Business development professionals evaluating this code should expect participation as a minor line item within large food service contracts—often bundled with sauces, condiments, and specialty ingredients—rather than as a direct-award vehicle. The absence of dedicated fresno pepper puree solicitations and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the food categories actually being solicited suggest limited near-term pursuit opportunity under this specific commodity classification.
