UNSPSC 50625426: Non GMO long hot pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO long hot 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 50625426 Non GMO long hot pepper purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy entry. The recent procurement opportunities tagged to this code show state and local agencies soliciting broad food service contracts encompassing hundreds of line items across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, canned goods, and prepared foods—but not pepper purees specifically. The code's nominal scope targets a narrow specialty ingredient, yet the tagged opportunities represent institutional food supply contracts for school districts, correctional facilities, state health agencies, and veterans homes purchasing general grocery and produce items. This mismatch signals that the code carries little decision-relevant procurement activity aligned with its stated commodity definition.

The issuing-body mix in the recent opportunities spans school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school nutrition programs. The geographic spread includes Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (response due April 27, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000015837 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomato products (response due February 9, 2026). The code shows no recent activity aligned with non-GMO long hot pepper purees as a standalone procurable item.
