UNSPSC 50625801: Non GMO atlantic shallot purees

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO atlantic 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 50625801 Non GMO atlantic shallot purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific food product line, but the most recent state and local solicitations posted under or near this classification span general food service procurement for institutional cafeterias, dining facilities, and nutrition programs — encompassing hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and consumable supplies rather than purees or specialty ingredients. The issuing bodies span state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller, Oregon Department of Corrections, and the State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), and independent school districts (Burke County Public Schools and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia). None of the sourced opportunities specifically reference shallot purees, non-GMO certification, or narrowly tailored produce products; instead, they request sealed bids or informal written quotes for bulk food supply contracts where shallots or purees, if purchased at all, would be embedded in broader line-item lists alongside hundreds of other staple and specialty items.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for state supported living centers and hospitals (most recently HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin, due October 23, 2026; HHS0017449 for El Paso, due July 13, 2026; and HHS0016792V2 for statewide supplemental foods, due March 19, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller issued a large cafeteria-foods IFB for the Department of Criminal Justice (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026). Georgia school districts issued multiple food bids, including Ben Hill County Schools (June 15, 2026), Burke County Public Schools (June 5, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (October 19, 2026, IWQ 140229). Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026). Illinois and an unspecified Oregon agency posted limited-detail opportunities. The code signals minimal direct procurement activity under its specific commodity name; vendors targeting this code should expect to compete on broader food-service supply agreements where specialty or niche ingredients represent a small fraction of total line items rather than standalone procurements.
