UNSPSC 50625415: Non GMO bell pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO bell 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 50625415 Non GMO bell pepper purees (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for bell pepper purees, GMO or non-GMO. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food and consumable procurement for institutional food service — state supported living centers, county senior services, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state hospitals — with line items for proteins, frozen vegetables, canned goods, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies. The code appears misaligned with these general food-service solicitations, which typically span dozens or hundreds of line items across multiple commodity families rather than a single specialized product.

Activity is concentrated among state health and human services agencies, county school districts, and county social-service departments across Georgia, Texas, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is the most active repeat issuer, with multiple IFBs posted since May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables serving state supported living centers and state hospitals. Representative recent opportunities include HHS0018082 (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, consumable foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, IFB, due October 23, 2026); IWQ 140229 (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, shelf-stable food items for Department of Community Services, informal written quote, due October 19, 2026); HHS0016792V2 (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services, supplemental food and consumables statewide, IFB, due March 19, 2026, with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years); and IFB #26271 (Ben Hill County Schools, comprehensive food products and related items including fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and seasonings, sealed bid, due June 15, 2026). Given the mismatch between the coded commodity and the actual procurement activity, this code does not provide meaningful signals for business development under its stated scope.
