UNSPSC 50626507: Non GMO cheese pumpkin purees

The variety of Non GMO winter squashes and Non GMO winter pumpkins known as Non GMO cheese pumpkin. 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 50626507 Non GMO cheese pumpkin purees is a Commodity code with limited current state and local procurement activity aligned specifically to its stated scope. Recent opportunities show that the code, though nominally focused on a specialized processed vegetable product, actually captures a much broader pattern of food service procurement across school districts, state institutions, and correctional facilities. The actual work being solicited under this code extends far beyond non-GMO cheese pumpkin purees to encompass hundreds of food line items—fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, prepared entrees, condiments, and consumable supplies—for child nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and veteran care institutions. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Muscogee County School District in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), and county health systems (Texas Comptroller on behalf of Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These entities solicit through IFB, RFP, RFQ, and ITB notices, typically with firm fixed pricing and annual or multi-year contract terms including renewal options.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (eight school district procurements), Texas (three HHSC and TDCJ procurements, one valued at $4.5 million over three years and another at $1.5 million annual), Oregon (two Department of Corrections procurements), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with prior-year pricing at $13.75 per case; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for multi-category food procurement due June 15, 2026, covering fresh produce through cafeteria furnishings with quarterly price adjustments permitted; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026, requiring delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens. The code shows no set-aside or preference designations in most postings, though some procurements apply Buy American Act requirements and state-level Oregon or Texas resident preferences. Payment terms are typically Net 30 days, with weekly or scheduled deliveries required and prices remaining firm for initial contract periods before prospective redetermination or CPI-based adjustment.
