UNSPSC 50625416: Non GMO cascabel pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO cascabel 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 50625416 Non GMO cascabel pepper purees is a Commodity code that maps to state and local procurement of shelf-stable food products for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show little direct demand for cascabel pepper purees specifically. Instead, the code appears within a broader pattern of state and local purchasing of prepared and shelf-stable food items—canned tomatoes, sauces, condiments, and specialty food service products—for state supported living centers, corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission), state corrections systems (Oregon DOC, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county and municipal governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state-level food service procurement offices. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer with multiple solicitations for consumable foods and supplemental food products across state supported living centers.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which encompasses 22 line items including prepared foods and food service supplies with annual quantities of 1–24 cases per item; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including sauces, canned proteins, and vegetables (response due October 19, 2026); and Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026). The Texas HHS Commission's supplemental food procurement HHS0016792V2 covered 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Cascabel pepper purees do not appear in any of the posted opportunities; the code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its specific commodity description.
