UNSPSC 50625700: Non GMO sea vegetable purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO sea vegetables. 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 50625700 Non GMO sea vegetable purees, Class code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The sixteen most-recent opportunities tagged under this code involve mainstream grocery procurement for school districts, state correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and state veterans homes—spanning canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, cheese, proteins, dairy products, and general food service supplies for institutional meal programs. None of the solicitations name sea vegetable products, non-GMO purees, or specialty vegetable concentrates. The code designation appears to be a classification artifact rather than a reflection of actual buying activity; the opportunities are better characterized as institutional food service provisioning across standard commodity categories.

The recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, issued primarily by school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home). Representative procurements 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, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. Buyers consistently specify Buy American preferences, USDA compliance, HACCP and food safety standards, firm fixed pricing with limited midterm adjustments tied to documented cost indices, and liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence. If sea vegetable products are part of your target market, this code shows minimal procurement momentum in state and local channels currently.
