UNSPSC 50626115: Non GMO miniature squash purees

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and Non GMO summer pumpkins known as Non GMO miniature 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 50626115 Non GMO miniature squash purees, a Commodity code, sees sparse recent state and local procurement activity focused on general food service supply. The code does not appear directly in recent solicitations; instead, state and local buyers are procuring broadly across food product families—fresh produce, canned goods, dairy, proteins, and consumables—through general grocery and food service RFPs and IFBs rather than narrowly specified vegetable purees. School districts, state correctional and health departments, and state veterans' facilities dominate the issuing-body mix. Recent opportunities span Texas (Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food procurement at $1.5 million prior-period value), Oregon (Department of Corrections canned goods solicitations), Illinois (veterans home weekly food orders), and Georgia (multiple school district nutrition programs). The code shows minimal dedicated activity; most food procurement occurs under broader commodity categories such as fresh produce, canned vegetables, and general grocery supplies, with purchasing volume concentrated in school nutrition programs and state-operated residential facilities rather than specialized non-GMO puree lines.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 13, 2026, IFB with $1.5 million prior-period value), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, bids due June 19, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (annual estimated spending $5.5 million combined across two areas, proposals due March 4, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Rockwood School District (Missouri) each issued multiple solicitations for comprehensive grocery and produce supply, with bid deadlines in April and June 2026. No solicitations explicitly name non-GMO miniature squash purees or similar specialty vegetable products. Buyers under this code are pursuing consolidated food-service contracts emphasizing cost, compliance with USDA grades and Buy American requirements, and timely delivery to multiple school or facility locations rather than specialized ingredient sourcing.
