UNSPSC 50625432: Non GMO poblano pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO poblano 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 50625432 Non GMO poblano pepper purees is a Commodity code that nominally names a single product line, but state and local governments soliciting under this code in the recent record do not appear to be buying poblano pepper purees at all. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no evidence of such a purchase. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover broad food and consumable procurement for state facilities, school districts, county departments, and correctional systems — including proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, frozen goods, condiments, fresh produce, and food service supplies. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code sits within a much broader food-procurement family where state and local agencies tag diverse food line items without precision. The work being solicited is operational food service for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services — routine replenishment of shelf-stable and perishable items in bulk quantities, with emphasis on USDA compliance, delivery timeliness, and competitive unit pricing.

State soliciting bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia county schools (Ben Hill and Burke), Gwinnett County in Georgia, Illinois state government, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's office. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia as of mid-2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with F.O.B. Destination delivery; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for community services (due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better with delivery to Salem (due June 19, 2026, at $13.75 per case from the prior award). School districts and state facilities dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat procurement from Texas state-supported living centers and correctional systems.
