UNSPSC 50625706: Non GMO irish moss purees

The variety of Non GMO sea vegetables known as Non GMO irish moss. 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 50625706 Non GMO Irish moss purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The ten most recent opportunities tagged to this code in fact describe bulk food and kitchen consumables procurements — canned tomatoes, potatoes, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies — for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. None of these solicitations mention irish moss, seaweed products, or vegetable purees of any kind. The code's abstract name and the actual goods being solicited under it diverge significantly. State and local procurement offices appear to be applying this commodity code to general food-service line items that do not match the narrow scope the code nominally describes.

Recent activity under this code spans Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple IFBs for state supported living centers and state hospitals), Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois state agencies. The geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' food bid encompassing fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations (due June 15, 2026). Given the absence of irish moss or seaweed puree line items in any sourced opportunity, this code warrants verification with the issuing procurement offices before pursuing or allocating resources to market development.
