UNSPSC 50626210: Non GMO jewel sweet potato purees

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO jewel sweet potatoes. 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 50626210 Non GMO jewel sweet potato purees (Commodity) does not appear in the recent state and local procurement record. The nine opportunities posted between May and October 2026 under or adjacent to this code address broader food and consumable procurement — fresh produce, canned and frozen staples, proteins, dairy, and food service supplies — but none specifically solicit non-GMO jewel sweet potato purees. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all posted food and consumable solicitations during this period, but their scopes encompass multi-hundred-line-item baskets of shelf-stable and prepared foods rather than specialty produce lines. State-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services continue to drive volume in the broader food-service consumables space, but the specific commodity — non-GMO jewel sweet potato purees — has not surfaced as a distinct line item or procurement focus in the recent opportunities reviewed.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ procurements), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and state-level Georgia food bid), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned tomato procurement), with one Illinois food order visible as well. If suppliers are pursuing this commodity, the entry point appears to be as a line item within larger institutional food service bids rather than as a standalone solicitation. Monitor Texas state-supported living center and correctional-facility food procurements for future specialty produce or produce-puree additions, and consider engagement with school nutrition programs in the South that have posted multi-category grocery bids with fresh and frozen vegetable line items.
