UNSPSC 50626502: Non GMO atlantic giant squash purees

The variety of Non GMO winter squashes and Non GMO winter pumpkins known as Non GMO atlantic giant 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 50626502 Non GMO Atlantic Giant Squash Purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying in recent solicitations. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show no procurement activity for squash purees or any related specialty vegetable products. Instead, the block records school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, and correctional institutions soliciting broad-based food and consumable supplies—including fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, bakery items, condiments, and food service supplies—but no documented demand for the specific branded product this code describes.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Liberty County Board of Education and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia Department of Corrections), and other state institutions. The geographic spread covers Virginia, Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs appearing as the most active category. Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' June 2026 IFB for quarterly food orders (due June 26, 2026), Texas HHSC's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products for state supported living centers (due July 13, 2026 with a prior period value of $1.5 million), Oregon DOC's June 2026 ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). The code shows low relevance to the actual procurement activity recorded—bidders pursuing this category should focus instead on general food and consumable supply codes that align with the broad institutional food service demand documented in the recent opportunities.
