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. State and local governments rarely procure this item as a standalone line item; the code appears in the broader context of food service supply chains serving correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and other institutional food operations. When ancho pepper purees or similar specialty condiments do appear in solicitations, they are typically bundled within larger food and consumable procurements that include prepared foods, fresh produce, frozen items, dairy products, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services departments, state correctional systems, county school districts, and county social services departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers in recent activity, though both procure across dozens of commodity codes within comprehensive food supply contracts rather than specializing in pepper purees or ethnic condiments.

Recent opportunities spanning May through October 2026 show no active solicitations specifically requesting ancho pepper purees or non-GMO pepper products. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, HHS0017449, HHS0017872, HHS0018082) serving state supported living centers across the state, with the largest encompassing 210 line items and a maximum three-year value of $4,500,000; however, the publicly available summaries do not itemize pepper purees. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County (Georgia), and Ben Hill County Schools all posted competitive food bids during this period, but solicitations focused on staple proteins, produce, dairy, canned goods, and condiments without naming specialty pepper products. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The code shows minimal current procurement activity at the commodity level—opportunities under it would depend on whether institutional food service vendors have bid on line items that explicitly request non-GMO ancho pepper purees, a detail absent from the available summaries.
