UNSPSC 50625430: Non GMO pequin pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO pequin 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 50625430 Non GMO pequin pepper purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single ingredient product, but the recent state and local solicitation activity shows this code tagged to much broader food-service procurement — specifically, comprehensive food and consumable purchasing for institutional feeding operations including state residential facilities, correctional institutions, school nutrition programs, and public-health agencies. The actual work being bought under this code spans hundreds of line items across multiple product categories: fresh, frozen, and canned proteins; dairy; produce; condiments and sauces; bread and bakery goods; ice cream; beverages; kitchen supplies; and disposables. Representative recent solicitations show state health and human services commissions, correctional departments, school districts, and county social-services agencies issuing IFBs and IWQs for annual or multi-year food service contracts. The issuing bodies are primarily state facilities management and procurement offices (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state operations), county departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia). The scope includes firms delivering to state-supported living centers, prisons and correctional facilities, public schools across multiple campuses, and senior-services centers, with delivery windows typically 72 hours to 7 days from order and F.O.B. Destination pricing standard across solicitations.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs within the past four months for consumables at Lufkin and El Paso state supported living centers (due dates August 25 and July 11, 2026) and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued a 382-line-item cafeteria food IFB for Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse distribution across five geographic areas (extended due date May 4, 2026). Georgia school districts and Gwinnett County have solicited comprehensive food procurement under IFB and IWQ notice types (Ben Hill County Schools IFB due June 15, 2026 with Buy American Act requirements; Burke County Public Schools IFB due June 5, 2026 for five-school supply; Gwinnett County IWQ due October 19, 2026 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products). Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a June 19, 2026 deadline and 5% Oregon-resident preference. Illinois issued a quarterly food-order solicitation under FY-27 IVHQ due June 26, 2026. The Georgia State procurement office and an Oregon potato procurement (July 27, 2026) round out documented activity. Bidders typically must meet reference requirements (three prior contracts of similar scope), E-Verify certification, debarment certifications, liability insurance minimums ($500,000 per occurrence standard), and HACCP or food-safety compliance; contracts run fiscal or calendar-year terms with renewal options extending two to four additional years at the buyer's discretion.
