UNSPSC 50625716: Non GMO wakame purees

The variety of Non GMO sea vegetables known as Non GMO wakame. 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 50625716 Non GMO wakame purees is a Commodity code for a narrowly specialized seaweed product that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains sixteen recent solicitations for food products spanning school nutrition programs, state institutions, and correctional facilities across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri—but none of these opportunities reference wakame purees, seaweed products, or ingredients matching this code's scope. The opportunities solicited include canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, proteins, bakery items, condiments, and bulk groceries in quantities ranging from approximately 1,900 cases to over 900 line items per district. A single Illinois Veterans Home RFQ for quarterly weekly food orders names 24 line items (bacon, cheese, milk, pizza crusts, donuts, rolls, vegetables, condiments) with no seaweed or marine algae products specified. The code shows no relevant recent activity.

State and local procurement under this code is not evidenced in the recent-opportunities dataset. Absence of matches does not indicate the code is dormant across all jurisdictions—specialized food products like non-GMO wakame purees are sometimes purchased by larger institutional foodservice operations, particularly those emphasizing whole-food or plant-based menus—but the available data contains no examples of recent solicitations, issuing bodies, or geographic activity to guide business development. A firm pursuing this commodity would need to conduct direct outreach to state institutional foodservice buyers and school districts known to serve Asian cuisines or health-conscious menus rather than relying on public notice activity to generate leads.
