UNSPSC 50626219: Non GMO redglow sweet potato purees

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO redglow 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 50626219 Non GMO redglow sweet potato purees (Commodity) sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's specific scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for sweet potato purees or products matching the code's nominal description; instead, the posted opportunities span broad food procurement for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans homes, and state health agencies—covering generic grocery, fresh produce, canned vegetables, and consumable supplies. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the code assignment and the actual work being solicited suggests this Commodity sits outside current state and local buying patterns captured in the available opportunities.

School nutrition programs and state institutional food services dominate the broader food-procurement landscape in the recent opportunities, with issuing bodies including school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County, and Liberty County school districts in Missouri and Georgia; Burke County and Muscogee County in Georgia; Ben Hill County in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia), and a county health facility (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with contract values ranging from approximately $52,000 to $9,000,000 for multi-year institutional food supply arrangements. Recent notices include IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs with response dates spanning February through June 2026, reflecting seasonal back-fill procurement for July 2026 school year start dates and rolling institutional supply needs.
