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, yet the recent state and local opportunities do not reflect procurement of poblano pepper purees or specialty pepper products. Instead, the code shows activity dominated by broad food service solicitations for school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies purchasing comprehensive grocery and produce supplies. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement suggests this Commodity code has little relevant current activity in state and local contracting markets.

The issuing bodies include school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments and agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and State of Georgia), and county school systems across the Southeast and Southwest. The recent opportunities reflect routine annual food service contracting for K-12 nutrition programs, state hospital and correctional facility feeding operations, and state-supported living center provisioning. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois over the past six months, with school district activity accounting for the plurality of recent solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia (due March 4, 2026). None of these solicitations specifically reference poblano pepper purees or specialty pepper products, indicating the code does not align with current state and local procurement practice.
