UNSPSC 50626101: Non GMO boston marrow squash purees

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and Non GMO summer pumpkins known as Non GMO boston marrow squash. 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 50626101 Non GMO Boston Marrow Squash Purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent solicitation activity from state and local governments. The code nominally describes a specific produce item—non-GMO pureed squash—yet the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations matching that narrow scope. Instead, the state and local procurement record reflects a fragmented landscape of food service and nutrition procurement activity spanning institutional foodservice (state corrections facilities, state supported living centers, veterans homes), school nutrition programs, and general grocery supply. The actual buying across the source opportunities covers broad categories of fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods for multiple institutional customers, with only tangential connection to the specific commodity named in the code.

The issuing bodies are predominantly K-12 school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, and Douglas County School System), state agencies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department, and Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs. Geographic concentration appears heaviest 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 procurement of supplemental food and consumable products (HHS0017449, IFB, due Jul 13, 2026) estimated at $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato solicitation (S2910000016405, ITB, due Jun 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due Apr 27, 2026) serving 45 schools. None of the opportunities explicitly reference non-GMO squash purees or closely parallel products, indicating the code itself does not align with current state and local buying activity in the source dataset.
