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 is a Class code that in practice encompasses a much broader range of shelf-stable and prepared food products for state and local institutional food service — including proteins, dairy, frozen and canned vegetables, condiments, sauces, grains, and food service consumables such as containers, napkins, and disposable supplies. State and local governments buy under this code to stock canteens, cafeterias, kitchens, and food service programs at correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, senior services centers, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services departments, state corrections agencies, county social services and senior services divisions, and school districts across multiple states. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Oregon Department of Corrections are repeat active buyers; school districts in Georgia and Texas also solicit regularly under the code.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods and supplies at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with F.O.B. Destination delivery required within seven days of order. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes under IWQ 140229 on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products—peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables—for the Department of Community Services. The Oregon Department of Corrections procured canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, bid due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences applied; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia bid for comprehensive grocery procurement spanning nearly 400 line items across fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and kitchen supplies (bids due June 15, 2026). The code shows steady institutional food procurement activity with high-volume, recurring contracts typically running fiscal year or academic-year terms with renewal or extension options.
