UNSPSC 50625504: Non GMO russet potato purees

The variety of Non GMO potatoes known as Non GMO russet 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 50625504 Non GMO russet potato purees, a Commodity code, covers specialized potato products for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for this specific item—state and local governments buy potato purees primarily as components of broader food procurement contracts for schools, correctional facilities, hospitals, and state-supported living centers rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies span school districts, state departments of corrections, state health agencies, and state veterans homes across multiple states, with school nutrition programs appearing most frequently as repeat buyers. Geographic spread includes Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri, with school districts concentrated in Georgia and Missouri.

The recent opportunities available under the broader food procurement codes show activity across a diverse institutional base. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually; the State of Illinois RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821 (due June 26, 2026) for quarterly weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for food products and supplies across four school locations with Buy American Act compliance required; and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution services covering approximately 32,000 meals daily with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. The code itself does not appear directly in current solicitation activity—potato purees are embedded within broader commodity food procurement rather than solicited as a distinct product line.
