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 describes specialty pepper condiments and prepared sauces, though state and local procurement activity under this specific code shows little relevance to what government buyers actually source. Recent solicitations tagged with or adjacent to this code reveal that state and local agencies procure food and consumable products overwhelmingly as part of broad, multi-category food service buys — institutional cafeteria operations, correctional facility feeding programs, school nutrition supply, and state-supported living center provisioning — where pepper purees and specialty condiments appear, if at all, as isolated line items within dozens or hundreds spanning proteins, dairy, produce, dry goods, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies are chiefly state departments and agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state facilities), county and municipal school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Gwinnett County), and county social services departments. The mix reflects institutional food service as the dominant buyer.

Recent opportunities span Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ procurements), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, State of Georgia), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Illinois (IVHQ facilities). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including proteins, sauces, and canned goods (response due October 19, 2026), the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 spanning fresh, frozen, and prepared foods across multiple categories for school nutrition (response due June 15, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations (response due May 4, 2026). Specialty pepper purees do not appear as named commodities in publicly available summaries; the code appears to see little discrete procurement activity at the state and local level outside broad food service frameworks.
