UNSPSC 50625800: Non GMO shallot purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO shallots. 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 50625800 Non GMO shallot purees is a Class code that encompasses shelf-stable and specialty food ingredients procured by state and local institutions for dining, food service, and nutrition programs. State and local opportunities under this code show state health and human services agencies, correctional departments, school nutrition programs, and county social services divisions soliciting consumable food products for institutional feeding operations—including fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared foods; condiments and seasonings; and food service supplies. Recent solicitations reveal broad food procurement across dozens of line items per contract, with emphasis on USDA compliance, delivery within tight timeframes (typically 72 hours to seven days), FOB Destination pricing with freight prepaid, and brand-specific or approved-equivalent sourcing. Issuing bodies include state health agencies managing state-supported living centers, county social services departments, school nutrition programs, state correctional departments, and state hospital systems. The code also captures multi-agency procurements where a single contract serves multiple state entities.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple bids for food and consumable products supporting state-supported living centers and hospitals statewide, with estimated annual contract values ranging up to $1.5 million per facility and maximum three-year potential values reaching $4.5 million. Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools—solicited comprehensive food bids with nearly 400 line items each for FY 2026-2027. The Oregon Department of Corrections bid approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026. Gwinnett County, Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods for senior services in October 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued a multi-state cafeteria food procurement spanning 382 line items across five geographic warehouse regions with response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Illinois also appears in the recent record with a quarterly food order for July-September 2026.
