UNSPSC 50626114: Non GMO middle eastern squash purees

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and Non GMO summer pumpkins known as Non GMO middle eastern 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 50626114 Non GMO middle eastern squash purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's search results returned fourteen opportunities spanning school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health agencies procuring food and consumables, but none explicitly sought squash purees of any origin or formulation. The recent solicitations tracked under this code encompass canned and fresh produce (tomatoes, peppers, beans), grains, proteins, dairy, condiments, and packaged grocery items typical of institutional food service, along with broader food supply contracts serving prisons, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and K-12 school districts.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a system-level tagging error or that squash purees represent a negligible or non-existent line item within institutional food purchasing across the jurisdictions and time window reflected in the data. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia; state corrections and health agencies in Oregon and Texas; and county school systems continue to bid food supply on an annual or quarterly cycle, with response dates clustered between February and June 2026, but no opportunity names squash in any form. Pursue this code only if your firm has existing relationships with institutional foodservice buyers and can confirm direct demand; the evidence does not support active market activity in this specific commodity.
