UNSPSC 50625503: Non GMO round red potato purees

The variety of Non GMO potatoes known as Non GMO round red potatoes. 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 50625503 Non GMO round red potato purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this product as part of broader food service operations for institutional settings including correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and state office buildings. The code appears in solicitations primarily as one line item within larger food procurement RFPs and IFBs that encompass dozens or hundreds of food products across multiple categories. Recent opportunities show this item embedded in meal-service buys rather than as a standalone procurement, reflecting how state and local food service operations source specific commodity ingredients within comprehensive quarterly or annual food supply contracts.

Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), county and municipal school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), and independent school nutrition programs across multiple states. School districts dominate the recent activity, with at least a dozen school-based procurements visible in the data spanning Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. Geographic spread covers the Southeast (Georgia), Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia), with notable concentration in Georgia school nutrition programs. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid PE61000NONST2027000000006 (response due June 15, 2026), both of which would source potato purees as component items within their larger institutional meal-service requirements.
