UNSPSC 50625437: Non GMO tepin pepper purees

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO tepin 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 50625437 Non GMO tepin pepper purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure food products under this code as part of broad-based food supply contracts for institutional food service operations — primarily schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services institutions. The recent activity under this code shows procurement officers tagging it alongside dozens of other food items in multi-line-item RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs that span fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and processed foods rather than pepper purees specifically. The issuing bodies are school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and county school systems across the Southeast and Texas, with standout repeat buyers including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Douglas County Schools (Georgia), and multiple independent school districts in Georgia and Missouri.

The most recent opportunities show little activity directly targeting non-GMO pepper purees as a line item. Instead, this code appears tagged on broader food procurement RFPs where pepper products, if listed at all, occupy a single or handful of line items within contracts spanning 60 to 900+ line items. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Ben Hill County Schools food bid (due June 15, 2026) covering multiple produce and condiment categories, and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (due April 27, 2026) requiring bidders to cover minimum 76 of 89 school delivery items. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (ODOC), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), with most contracts running annual cycles tied to school and fiscal years. Pepper products are typically bundled into seasonal or general condiment categories rather than procured separately, and this code shows no dedicated or high-volume pepper-specific opportunities in the recent posting window.
