UNSPSC 50626218: Non GMO red mar sweet potato purees

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO red mar 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 50626218 Non GMO red mar sweet potato purees, a Commodity code, sees sparse recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specialized processed vegetable product, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations matching this specific commodity. Instead, the tagged opportunities across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri document broad food service procurements—weekly food orders for veterans homes, supplemental consumables for state hospitals and living centers, canned tomatoes for corrections facilities, school nutrition programs spanning hundreds of line items, and fresh produce contracts. None of these solicitations appear to request non-GMO sweet potato purees or anything resembling the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in source data or minimal recent demand for this particular commodity at the state and local level.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System all posting food service RFPs and IFBs. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois Veterans Home represent state agency procurement. The opportunities center on comprehensive grocery, produce, and prepared-food supply—not specialty items like sweet potato purees. Activity clusters in Georgia and Missouri (school districts), Texas (state health and corrections), and Oregon (corrections). Without evidence of actual demand for the coded commodity in recent solicitations, this code presents minimal current pursuit value for vendors focused on sweet potato puree supply.
