UNSPSC 50625505: Non GMO purple potato purees

The variety of Non GMO potatoes known as Non GMO purple 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 50625505 Non GMO purple potato purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy this line item primarily through school nutrition programs as part of broader food-service procurement. Recent solicitation activity shows the code tagged to general food and produce contracts rather than purple potato purees as a standalone specification — the actual procurement documents reviewed do not isolate or specify purple potato purees as a line item, indicating the code may be overtagged or used as a catch-all within broader grocery categories. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments are the primary issuing bodies. The mix includes independent school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state supported living centers and hospitals, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), and county school systems (Muscogee County, Chatham County). Recent opportunities span Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with the heaviest recent concentration in Georgia school districts and Texas state facilities.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a June 13, 2026 response date and a historical monetary value guideline of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period; Ben Hill County Schools School Nutrition Program issuing IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products with a June 15, 2026 deadline; and Fairfax County Public Schools soliciting sealed bids for Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323) with an April 27, 2026 response date to supply 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Douglas County School System issued RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 and a February 18, 2026 response deadline. Pricing structures typically require firm, fixed-unit rates with delivery FOB Destination; most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, and evaluation is weighted toward lowest responsive bid meeting specification and service requirements with secondary consideration of vendor performance history and past experience.
