UNSPSC 50625425: Non GMO jalapeño pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO jalapeno 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 50625425 Non GMO jalapeño pepper purees, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line that sees minimal direct solicitation activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting jalapeño pepper purees; instead, the code appears tagged to broad food service RFPs that name dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and staple groceries without specification of jalapeño products as a standalone requirement. State and local governments procure food service products through school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and veteran care facilities, but the opportunities posted in the past six months show that jalapeño purees—whether GMO or non-GMO—are subsumed into omnibus grocery or produce contracts rather than solicited as a distinct commodity.

The issuing bodies pursuing food service procurement include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Burke County, and Liberty County school districts in Missouri and Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools; Ben Hill County Schools), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school systems (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County in Georgia). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (June 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products for state supported living centers across Texas, which encompasses NIGP categories covering food service but does not name jalapeño products as a line item; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 (January 2026, due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution serving 32,500 students with an estimated $9 million annual expenditure; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T26300CF (May 2026, due May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations. No recent opportunity explicitly solicits non-GMO jalapeño pepper purees as a named line item, meaning vendors pursuing this commodity should expect to compete as a line item within broader grocery or specialty condiment categories rather than as a standalone procurement target.
