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, a Class code, does not reflect active state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty pureed shallots with non-GMO certification—finds no match in the recent solicitation record. State and local jurisdictions posting food procurement since January 2026 are buying commodity groceries, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, prepared entrees, and consumables for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers. None of the 22 recent opportunities in the record—from Illinois Veterans Homes to Oregon Department of Corrections, from school districts in Georgia and Missouri to Texas Health and Human Services—name shallot purees or any specialty vegetable purees as line items.

The mismatch between code and actual procurement is consistent across all issuing bodies captured in the source: state departments (Oregon Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia state operations), county school systems (Douglas County, Burke County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Ben Hill, Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI), and special institutional food service contracts. Pricing in the record spans tomato paste at $27.75 per case (Oregon), canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case (Oregon), fresh produce under USDA Terminal Market indexing, and large grocery contracts valued at $1.5 million to $9 million annually. Across all recent opportunities, the procurement pattern is high-volume, standardized food supply with emphasis on USDA Grade compliance, Buy American Act certification, HACCP protocols, and firm fixed-price delivery. Shallot purees—particularly non-GMO specialty purees—do not appear in any scope. The code shows no market activity worth pursuing under its stated definition.
