UNSPSC 50626102: Non GMO butternut squash purees

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and Non GMO summer pumpkins known as Non GMO butternut 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 50626102 Non GMO butternut squash purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local solicitations. The code represents a narrowly defined product line—specifically pureed butternut squash meeting non-GMO certification standards—that falls within the broader scope of food procurement that state and local buyers conduct regularly, yet the recent-opportunities block contains no bids or RFPs explicitly requesting this product. The 17 recent solicitations in the dataset span school nutrition programs, state facilities, correctional institutions, and human services centers, with buys encompassing fresh produce, canned vegetables, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, and general grocery items, but none specifically call for non-GMO butternut squash purees as a line item or category.

School districts and state health and human services agencies dominate the food procurement landscape shown in recent activity, with solicitations posted between January and June 2026 from the Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System. The geographic spread covers Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for state supported living centers with a historical value of $1.5 million (responses due July 13, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (responses due June 19, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for a Master Grocery K-12 contract covering 45 schools plus distribution facilities (responses due April 27, 2026). While pureed vegetables and specialty food items appear in some of these broader solicitations, the specific non-GMO butternut squash puree product does not surface as a tracked line item or evaluation factor in the available recent bids. This code merits watching for any future education or health-services buys that emphasize organic or non-GMO certified ingredients, but current procurement activity does not support active pursuit.
