UNSPSC 50625413: Non GMO anaheim pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO anaheim 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 50625413 Non GMO Anaheim pepper purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying broad consumable food products and food service supplies for institutional dining—including fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, condiments, and disposable service items—rather than the narrow pepper-puree category the code name suggests. The recent opportunities show little to no activity specifically for Anaheim pepper purees; instead, state agencies, county governments, and school districts are procuring dozens or hundreds of line items across multiple food categories to supply state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services programs, and school nutrition operations. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state-supported living centers), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), and the Illinois state government. These are repeat institutional buyers with substantial annual food service budgets and predictable renewal cycles.

Geographic concentration is moderate across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on the recent-opportunity sample. Representative recent activity includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items including prepared foods and food service supplies); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing a separate IFB for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated goods receiving a 5 percent preference); Gwinnett County issuing IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools issuing IFB #26271 for a comprehensive grocery procurement (due June 15, 2026, with delivery to four school locations). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission also issued IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Most solicitations are IFBs or informal written quotes with firm fixed-price structures, FOB Destination delivery terms, and response deadlines ranging from one to three weeks; all require compliance with USDA grade standards, FDA/USDA labeling, Buy American Act provisions (where applicable), and state-specific certifications including debarment, E-Verify, and liability insurance.
