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 (Commodity) shows minimal direct activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes specialty puree products, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly seeking non-GMO orach or spinach purees. Instead, the recent state and local contracts tagged under this code center on broad food procurement for school districts, corrections facilities, and health and human services agencies—predominantly fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods. School districts represent the most active issuing bodies, with multiple districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia) soliciting comprehensive grocery and fresh produce contracts for nutrition programs. State corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school systems constitute the remaining issuing-body mix. The mismatch between the code's product scope and actual solicitations suggests the code may be applied inconsistently or as a catch-all for specialty vegetable products within larger food procurements.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB, response due July 13, 2026, with historical annual value of $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomato products (ITB, response due June 19, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 services (IFB, response due April 27, 2026). No opportunities in the block solicit non-GMO orach spinach purees specifically; the code's application to general food procurement makes it a low-signal category for vendors focused on specialty produce lines. Pursuit depends on whether your firm supplies ingredient or finished-good purees for institutional food service within broader master grocery contracts rather than targeted commodity sales.
