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 (Commodity) represents a narrow food product category that state and local government procurement offices tag sparingly; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting non-GMO potato purees or potato purees of any type. The code appears to capture a specialty processed potato product for institutional food service, but the fifteen recent state and local opportunities posted under or near this category span much broader food procurement — weekly food orders for veterans homes and state facilities, quarterly grocery and produce bids for school districts, canned tomato and fresh produce solicitations for corrections departments, and comprehensive food service contracts for institutional meal programs across multiple states. None of these opportunities name potato purees, non-GMO or otherwise, as a line item or product category; they reference fresh potatoes, frozen produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees in aggregate food supply contracts.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia and Missouri), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia), and regional buying cooperatives serving multiple districts. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with solicitation timelines spanning January through June 2026. Recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school food products (due June 15, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $5.5 million (proposals due March 4, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent procurement activity — potato purees do not appear as a solicited commodity in the current opportunity set.
