UNSPSC 50625414: Non GMO ancho pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO ancho 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 50625414 Non GMO ancho pepper purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments purchase as a specialty ingredient for institutional food service operations, particularly within school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and health and human services residential centers. Recent solicitations show ancho pepper purees are sourced as part of broader food supply contracts that emphasize compliance with nutritional standards, Buy American requirements, and federal food safety regulations. The code reflects a narrow product line within the larger ecosystem of prepared condiments, sauces, and specialty food ingredients that public institutions procure to support meal service to vulnerable populations—students, incarcerated individuals, and residents of state-supported living centers.

State and local food service purchasing spans school districts (including independent districts and county-wide systems), state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and state facilities such as veterans homes and psychiatric hospitals. Activity appears concentrated in school nutrition procurement, where districts manage quarterly or annual grocery contracts covering hundreds of line items across multiple categories. The geographic spread includes Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, TDCJ), Georgia (Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Ben Hill County Schools), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products with a historical value of $1.5 million annually (due July 13, 2026), the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 covering delivery to 45 schools (due April 27, 2026), and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026). The code itself shows no recent solicitations exclusively for ancho pepper purees; the commodity appears as a line item within larger food service bids rather than as a standalone procurement opportunity.
