UNSPSC 50625507: Non GMO new potato purees

The variety of Non GMO potatoes known as Non GMO new 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 50625507 Non GMO new potato purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code's nominal scope—GMO-free potato purees for food service—appears in abstractly in vendor specifications but does not match the breadth or emphasis of actual procurement activity. State and local issuing bodies acquiring food under this taxonomy span Texas Health and Human Services Commission state supported living centers, county human services departments, school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, and related institutional food service operations. The work solicited is institutional food supply contracting covering hundreds of line items in broad categories—fresh and frozen proteins, produce, dairy, grains, condiments, baking supplies, and consumable service goods—with potato products (fresh, frozen, and processed) appearing as individual line items within comprehensive multi-category food bids rather than as standalone puree procurement. Vendors respond to IFB, RFQ, or sealed-bid formats with firm fixed pricing, typically 30-day quote holding periods, delivery within seven days of order or by specified recurring schedules, FOB Destination terms with freight prepaid, and compliance with USDA grade standards, FDA labeling, HACCP plans, Buy American Act rules where applicable, and federal employment verification.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, food and consumable products, due July 13, 2026, prior-period value $1.5 million); Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (school nutrition food products across four schools, due June 15, 2026, with Buy American Act requirements); Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF (cafeteria food products to five geographic warehouse areas, extended due date May 4, 2026, approximately 382 line items); and Burke County Public Schools sealed bid (school nutrition procurement across five schools, due June 5, 2026, nearly 400 line items). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a separate bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and the State of Illinois solicited weekly food orders for a state facility (due June 26, 2026). The code shows little discrete activity around potato purees specifically; vendors pursuing this taxonomy should expect broad institutional food service contracts where potato products compete as commodity items within larger annual or quarterly food supply awards rather than standalone specialty-product buys.
