UNSPSC 50626105: Non GMO cucuzza squash purees

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and Non GMO summer pumpkins known as Non GMO cucuzza 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 50626105 Non GMO cucuzza squash purees, a Commodity code, shows no recent state or local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source includes fifteen recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 across state departments, school districts, and correctional facilities; none solicits cucuzza squash purees or products materially similar to them. The opportunities span canned tomatoes, fresh produce (apples, bananas, leafy greens, peppers, onions, citrus), eggs, cafeteria food products for prisons and state hospitals, school nutrition groceries, and supplemental food and consumables for state-supported living centers. One opportunity—the Illinois Veterans Home's weekly food order (Solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026)—lists 24 line items but does not disclose the specific product names, so cucuzza cannot be confirmed. The gap between the code's specificity and the broad commodity-basket procurements in the dataset suggests either that cucuzza squash purees are sourced as components within larger grocery contracts and not separately line-itemized, or that demand for this product under state and local procurement remains inactive.

The issuing bodies in the dataset are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; 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; Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Procurement), and one county correctional system (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Illinois, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. Procurement vehicles include IFBs, ITBs, and RFPs, with response dates typically fourteen to sixty days from posting. School districts frequently require Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, E-Verify certifications, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000. The earliest opportunity closed in February 2026; the most recent remains open through late June 2026. No recent solicitation explicitly names or awards cucuzza squash purees.
