UNSPSC 50625427: Non GMO mirasol pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO mirasol 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 50625427 Non GMO mirasol pepper purees, a Commodity code, describes specialty pepper products that state and local governments procure as ingredients or component items within broader food service and school nutrition supply chains. Recent state and local solicitations show no direct procurement of mirasol pepper purees as standalone line items; the code appears in a dataset of opportunities but does not match the actual goods being solicited. Instead, the recent opportunities under related food procurement codes (50625000-tier items) feature school districts, state institutional food services, and state departments purchasing fresh produce, canned vegetables, prepared entrees, dairy products, proteins, and consumable supplies—none of which name mirasol pepper purees or specialty pepper products as specified requirements. The mix of issuing bodies reflects school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state institutional support (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state-supported living centers and hospitals, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school systems (Douglas County School System and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia).

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with opportunities posted from Georgia (multiple school districts and the state), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Illinois (Veterans Home). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with historical spend of $1.5 million annually), Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive food procurement across four schools (due June 15, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for mirasol pepper purees specifically; business development professionals should verify whether this commodity sits in a distinct specialty-ingredient market tier or whether state and local institutional food service buyers source it through broader vegetable or condiment categories rather than as a named line item.
