UNSPSC 50626008: Non GMO orach spinach purees

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO orach spinach. 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 50626008 Non GMO orach spinach purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy fresh and prepared food products for institutional food service under this code, though recent opportunities show little activity specific to orach spinach purees; instead, the code tags broader food procurement for state agencies, school districts, and correctional facilities. The recent solicitations solicited under this code reflect institutional food service supplying — fresh, frozen, and prepared proteins; dairy; canned vegetables and fruits; and consumable food service supplies — rather than specialty vegetable purees. The issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and county-level food services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). Texas state agencies are repeat buyers, appearing in multiple recent solicitations for state supported living centers and hospital food service.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas showing the highest frequency — the Health and Human Services Commission and correctional system each issued multiple IFBs for food and consumable products within the past four months. Representative recent opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (prepared foods, food service supplies, and related items) at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, canned vegetables) for senior services, due October 19, 2026; and Oregon Department of Corrections bid S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026. The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse locations (extended to May 4, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) represent the largest-scope recent procurements under this code.
