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, maps poorly to the state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specialized ingredient product, yet the recent solicitation block contains no requests for irish moss purees or functionally equivalent botanicals. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span broad food service procurement—weekly food orders for veterans homes, quarterly supplies for state institutions, fresh produce and grocery items for school districts, and cafeteria products for correctional facilities. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities by issuing bodies or category drift in how state and local systems tag food-service-related purchases. When the source is read literally, the code shows no actionable recent activity in Non GMO irish moss purees specifically.

The broader food-service landscape represented in the block, however, does reflect consistent state and local demand across school districts, state agencies managing institutional feeding, and correctional and health-and-human-services facilities. Issuing bodies include Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), Texas agencies (HHSC, TDCJ via the Texas Comptroller), Oregon Department of Corrections, Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI), Illinois veterans homes, and Virginia school systems (Fairfax County Public Schools). Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 11, 2026), valued at approximately $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026); and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts (due March 4, 2026), estimated at $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. No opportunities in this block cite Non GMO irish moss purees as a line item or requirement.
