UNSPSC 50625423: Non GMO habanero pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO habanero 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 50625423 Non GMO habanero pepper purees is a Commodity code covering specialty pepper purees and condiment products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service operations. The recent opportunities solicited under this code do not specifically target habanero purees; instead, they reflect a much wider food procurement activity spanning fresh produce, canned goods, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods for school districts, correctional facilities, state health agencies, and veterans' homes. The actual buying pattern shows that this code sits within a larger ecosystem of food commodity procurement where state and local bodies source dozens or hundreds of line items at once, often treating individual ingredient items as subordinate components of larger food-supply contracts rather than as standalone purchases.

State and local issuing bodies in the recent record include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Douglas County School System, Georgia), state corrections and human-services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia schools dominate the recent record with at least six separate procurements), the Midwest (Missouri and Illinois), the Southwest (Texas), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables bid (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring weekly delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution centers; and the Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026) seeking a main-line food distributor to supply approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. These solicitations all list hundreds of line items and reflect demand-based contracting where pepper purees would appear as one item among many staple food categories rather than as a standalone specialty procurement.
