UNSPSC 50625702: Non GMO arame purees

The variety of Non GMO sea vegetables known as Non GMO arame. 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 50625702 Non GMO arame purees is a Commodity code representing one product line within a much broader family of food staples and supplies that state and local governments procure for institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code, however, show little activity specifically for arame or seaweed-based products. The most recent opportunities — a Texas Health and Human Services Commission consumables bid for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026), a Gwinnett County informal quote for shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), a Texas HHS bid for El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), an Oregon Department of Corrections canned-tomato procurement (IFB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026), a Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria-food bid (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026), and school-district nutrition bids from Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia — all focus on conventional prepared foods, frozen proteins, canned vegetables, dairy, grains, and food-service supplies. State and local issuing bodies sourcing under this code span state health and corrections agencies, county governments, and school districts across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. No recent solicitation in the source specifically names arame purees or non-GMO seaweed products as line items, indicating minimal current procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope.

The code shows sparse recent activity geographically and by issuing-body type. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer conducting multiple consumables solicitations for state supported-living centers, while Oregon Department of Corrections and school districts in Georgia also issue regular food-service bids. The geographic footprint in the source reflects activity in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with no bidding activity for this specific commodity evident in the opportunities listed. If a firm is evaluating pursuit under this code, the decision should rest on whether institutional food-service categories — state hospitals and supported-living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services — remain target markets, and whether arame or specialty seaweed-based products represent a viable category within those broader food-service contracts. The recent bids show conventional commodity purchasing dominated by canned goods, frozen proteins, and staple supplies; specialty non-GMO or seaweed-based items do not appear in the posted solicitations.
