UNSPSC 50626112: Non GMO kentucky field squash purees

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and Non GMO summer pumpkins known as Non GMO kentucky field 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 50626112 Non GMO Kentucky field squash purees, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line that state and local governments buy primarily through school nutrition and institutional food service procurement. Recent opportunities show that state and local issuing bodies source this category as part of broader food product bids—typically bundled with dozens or hundreds of other produce, dairy, protein, and prepared-food line items rather than as standalone purchases. The code itself generated minimal recent activity; the source records show no opportunities soliciting non-GMO Kentucky field squash purees explicitly or by name. Instead, state and local procurement offices tag broader food procurements (school nutrition programs, correctional-facility catering, state hospital food service, veterans' home supply) with commodity codes spanning produce, frozen foods, canned goods, and specialty items, where squash purees would fall as one among many line items if ordered at all.

School districts dominate recent food procurement activity in the source, with issuing bodies including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri). State agencies—Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs—also issue regular food-service bids. Recent opportunities span the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Upper Midwest (Missouri, Illinois) with secondary activity in Texas, Oregon, and Virginia. Representative procurements include Ben Hill County Schools' FY 26–27 food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), covering fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and supplies across four schools; Douglas County School System's food-supply RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026), seeking approximately 32,000 meals daily valued near $9 million annually; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables bid (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for state supported living centers statewide. The code sees limited independent pursuit—vendors serving this segment typically win as food-service lines within multi-category school and institutional contracts, not standalone commodity buys.
