UNSPSC 50626122: Non GMO sugar loaf squash purees

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and Non GMO summer pumpkins known as Non GMO sugar loaf 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 50626122 Non GMO sugar loaf squash purees is a Commodity code that covers specialty vegetable purees and processed agricultural products for institutional food service. State and local procurement activity under this code, however, shows minimal relevant recent solicitation volume. The recent opportunities in the dataset span broader food service and institutional grocery procurement across school districts, corrections facilities, and health and human services agencies, but none specifically identify non-GMO sugar loaf squash purees or comparable specialty squash puree products as a solicited line item. The issuing bodies conducting food service procurement include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas), school nutrition programs (Illinois, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia), and county school systems (Muscogee County Georgia, Liberty County Georgia, Douglas County Georgia, Burke County Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Georgia, and Fairfax County Virginia). The geographic spread of active procurement is concentrated in the Southeast—particularly Georgia—and the West Coast (Oregon, Texas), with additional activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia.

Representative recent solicitations reflect the broader commodity categories being purchased under related food service codes rather than this specific commodity. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period contract value of $1.5 million and renewal options through August 31, 2028. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, demonstrating procurement of processed vegetable products at scale. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food products across multiple categories including fresh and frozen produce, with deliveries to four school locations. None of these solicitations name non-GMO sugar loaf squash purees or specialty squash puree lines, indicating this commodity sees limited state and local procurement activity or is bundled under broader food service contracts where individual ingredient specifications are not publicly detailed in notice abstracts. Business development professionals should monitor broader produce and processed-food RFPs from school districts and state facilities but should not expect significant standalone demand signaling under this specific code.
