UNSPSC 50625714: Non GMO spirulina purees

The variety of Non GMO sea vegetables known as Non GMO spirulina. 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 50625714 Non GMO spirulina purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains fourteen food-service solicitations across school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies, but none of them mention spirulina, non-GMO certification, or purees as line items or product categories. The posted opportunities focus instead on traditional foodservice procurement — canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, grains, and general grocery items for institutional food service operations. The code shows little signal of actual state and local demand for the specialized product it nominally describes.

State and local buyers soliciting under or near this taxonomy appear to include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Douglas County Schools), departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and veterans' facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic concentration is visible in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia, with scattered activity in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables bid (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas with a prior-period value of $1.5 million, and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 solicitation (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) seeking grocery supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. None of these opportunities explicitly reference spirulina or specialized supplement purees, suggesting the code may be tagged to foodservice procurements by catalog classification rather than actual product demand.
