UNSPSC 50625422: Non GMO guerro pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO guerro 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 50625422 Non GMO guerro pepper purees (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The source shows no solicitations for non-GMO guerro pepper purees; instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food service procurement across school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies purchasing hundreds of line items including fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and dry goods for institutional feeding programs.

State and local governments buying under this nominal code classification are primarily school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Ben Hill County Schools), followed by corrections facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), health services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and a county school district food service cooperative. These buyers issue RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for annual food supply contracts covering July through June fiscal years. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with school districts representing the largest volume of recent solicitations. Recent opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) covering NIGP classes for food service and supplies with a historical spend of $1.5 million; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens requiring minimum 76-item bids and Buy American compliance; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covering 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One; and Ben Hill County Schools' School Nutrition Program food bid (due June 15, 2026) encompassing nearly 400 line items across produce, meat, dairy, and supplies for four school locations. The code shows low relevance to the nominal commodity—pepper purees—and activity is driven by institutional meal service contracting rather than specialty ingredient procurement.
