UNSPSC 50625902: Non GMO garden sorrel purees

The variety of Non GMO sorrel known as Non GMO garden sorrel. 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 50625902 Non GMO garden sorrel purees is a Commodity code that describes a narrow product line — specifically sorrel purees without genetically modified organisms — yet the recent state and local activity under this code shows little to no actual procurement of sorrel purees themselves. Instead, state and local agencies are soliciting broadly across consumable foods, fresh and frozen produce, canned vegetables, and food service supplies for institutional cafeterias, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple facilities statewide), Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the State of Georgia, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. These are predominantly state health and human services agencies, correctional departments, school districts, and county purchasing offices.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with individual large procurements in May and June 2026 spanning hundreds of line items across multiple food categories. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 (210 line items of supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (food products across multiple categories for four schools, due June 15, 2026, with Buy American Act requirements); Burke County Public Schools' sealed-bid food procurement across nearly 400 line items for five schools (due June 5, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). The code shows activity but the opportunities reflect bulk institutional food-service procurement, not specialized sorrel purees — bidders should verify the relevance of individual solicitations before responding.
