UNSPSC 50625900: Non GMO sorrel purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO sorrels. 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 50625900 Non GMO sorrel purees, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local government procurement activity in the source data. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—spanning Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri—actually solicit broad food and consumable products for institutional food service, ranging from fresh produce and canned tomatoes to complete grocery supply for school districts, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. None of the nineteen recent solicitations name sorrel purees or any specialty purees as line items; instead, they request hundreds of standard food categories including proteins, dairy, frozen entrees, vegetables, fruits, condiments, and supplies. The code's nominal scope appears to be either misapplied by issuing agencies or represents an extremely narrow commodity that state and local buyers do not procure distinctly.

State and local food service procurement under this taxonomic space is dominated by school districts—Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Fairfax County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System are all active bidders—alongside state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes. Georgia and Texas see the highest activity, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and multiple Georgia school districts posting IFBs and RFPs between January and June 2026. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 for delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies (due June 15, 2026). Given the code's apparent disconnect from actual procurement, pursue this code only if your firm supplies standard institutional food categories; do not expect demand for sorrel purees specifically.
