UNSPSC 50626123: Non GMO sweet dumpling squash purees

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and Non GMO summer pumpkins known as Non GMO sweet dumpling 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 50626123 Non GMO sweet dumpling squash purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food supply contracts for institutional food service operations — school districts, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and veterans homes. The code appears infrequently in recent solicitations; only one opportunity in the source block names a squash puree product specifically, while the remaining opportunities tag generic food procurement (fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, prepared entrees, and consumable supplies) under higher-tier food codes. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts, state corrections departments, and state health agencies procuring weekly or annual food supply to support cafeteria and nutrition programs across multiple sites. The institutional buyers — Ben Hill County Schools and Rockwood R-VI School District among school districts; Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice among corrections systems; Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers; and Illinois Veterans Home — pursue these contracts through IFB, RFQ, and RFP notice types with firm fixed pricing, weekly or monthly deliveries, and contract periods running one year with renewal options. Buy American provisions, USDA compliance, HACCP food safety plans, and nutritional standards (whole grain, low sodium, minimal artificial ingredients) are standard across all recent food service procurements.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with recent opportunities posted by school districts in Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Ben Hill County, Burke County, Douglas County), the State of Oregon and Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The Texas HHS Commission's supplemental food solicitation (HHS0016792V2, posted May 2026, due March 19, 2026) and the Ben Hill County Schools food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006, posted May 2026, due June 15, 2026) represent typical institutional food procurement at scale, with annual values estimated at $1.5 million to $9 million and line-item counts in the hundreds. The code itself shows minimal direct demand; recent opportunities tag produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees under broader food family codes rather than specific vegetable purees, making this a low-activity commodity that surfaces only when a specific institutional food service menu includes it as a line item within larger multi-category solicitations.
