UNSPSC 50625436: Non GMO tai pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO tai 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 50625436 Non GMO tai pepper purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. The single identifiable recent opportunity—an Oregon Department of Corrections bid for canned jalapeño peppers (Solicitation S2910000016405, posted March 23, 2026)—appears to tag a general pepper commodity under a code nominally for "tai pepper purees," indicating a mismatch between the code's narrow specification and the actual procurement. The Illinois Veterans Home's quarterly food orders and Texas HHS supplemental food procurements touch broader food categories but do not explicitly call for tai pepper purees or non-GMO pepper purées. The code shows little decision-relevant recent activity for vendors focused on this specific product line.

State and local procurement under this code, when it does occur, appears to be incidental to broader food-service buys by corrections departments, health and human services facilities, and school nutrition programs rather than standalone specialty-ingredient contracts. Issuing bodies are scattered across state departments and regional correctional agencies with no repeat solicitation patterns visible in the recent-opportunities block. Geographic presence is sparse and episodic—Oregon, Illinois, and Texas show isolated instances—with no concentration or momentum suggesting sustained demand. The code's narrow commodity definition and the absence of multiple representative opportunities in the data suggest that tai pepper purees occupy a minor role in state and local food procurement, if any at all.
