UNSPSC 50626212: Non GMO nemagold sweet potato purees

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO nemagold 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 50626212 Non GMO nemagold sweet potato purees is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable and specialty food items procured by state and local institutions for food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this code does not show procurement of sweet potatoes or sweet potato purees as a primary scope. State and local governments buy food and consumable products under related codes through their health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living facilities. Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission, state departments of corrections, county purchasing offices, school districts, and state departments managing institutional food service. The scope of work covers prepared and frozen proteins, dairy products, canned vegetables and fruits, grains, condiments, and food service supplies such as containers and napkins—items ordered in case quantities ranging from 1 to 24 cases annually for individual institutions or across multiple facility networks. Procurement typically follows IFB or informal written quote processes with firm, fixed unit pricing on F.O.B. Destination terms and delivery required within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with additional procurement by Oregon state agencies. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services (response due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive food products across four school locations (response due June 15, 2026). Texas and Georgia school districts and state health agencies dominate the recent opportunities block, posting multiple food procurement RFQs and IFBs between May and October 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections posted a separate canned-tomato procurement in June 2026, and Illinois posted a quarterly food order solicitation. Institutional food service contracts typically carry historical values in the $1.5 million to $4.5 million range over multi-year terms with renewal options, though individual facility or school district procurements range lower.
