UNSPSC 50625904: Non GMO wood sorrel purees

The variety of Non GMO sorrel known as Non GMO wood 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 50625904 Non GMO wood sorrel purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this taxonomy number. The recent opportunities posted against this code cover mainstream food-service and school-nutrition commodity purchasing—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, dairy products, proteins, and prepared foods—with no sourcing activity around wood sorrel purees or specialty botanical products. State and local procurement offices are using this code designation to tag routine food-supply contracts without apparent alignment to its nominal scope.

The issuing bodies conducting food-service procurement span state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department), county school systems (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Burke County, and Savannah-Chatham County systems in Georgia), independent school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), and one regional cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, supplemented by state facility dining and inmate food service at correctional and health-care institutions. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026; historical value approximately $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026; prior purchase $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest), the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with significant activity in Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. The code shows little relevant procurement activity aligned to its stated commodity definition.
