UNSPSC 50625903: Non GMO sheep sorrel purees

The variety of Non GMO sorrel known as Non GMO sheep 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 50625903 Non GMO sheep sorrel purees is a Commodity code for a highly specialized produce ingredient. However, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of sheep sorrel purees. Instead, the state and local opportunities tagged to this code show solicitation of broad food-service consumables — shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, frozen entrees, dairy products, condiments, and food-service supplies — for institutional kitchens operated by state supported living centers, county community services departments, school nutrition programs, and state correctional facilities. The mismatch between the narrow code name and the scope of actual solicitations suggests either misclassification in the state procurement systems or that sheep sorrel purees are bundled within broader food-commodity contracts that are tagged with this code for administrative purposes. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies in Texas and Georgia, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state departments of corrections. The work is operational food service procurement—weekly or annual supply contracts for institutional feeding operations, not specialty-ingredient development or processing.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for consumables and food products at state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, with response dates in June and August 2026, ranging from 20 to 210 line items and historical annual values near $1.5 million. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for community services, due October 19, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) each posted school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 for hundreds of line items across multiple schools. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 with a prior purchase price of $13.75 per case. The State of Illinois and State of Georgia posted food procurement notices in June 2026 with limited specification detail available. Given the code's technical specificity and the absence of actual sheep sorrel purees in any recent opportunity, this code shows little relevant recent activity for the stated commodity.
