UNSPSC 50626509: Non GMO curcibita squash purees

The variety of Non GMO winter squashes and Non GMO winter pumpkins known as Non GMO curcibita 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 50626509 Non GMO Curcibita Squash Purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal activity in recent state and local procurement. The code targets specialty vegetable purees meeting non-GMO specifications, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for non-GMO curcibita squash purees or closely related items. Instead, the block records sixteen food-service procurements issued between January and June 2026 — predominantly school nutrition programs, state institutional food service (corrections facilities, veterans homes, health and human services centers), and one county board of education — that collectively span broad categories of groceries, produce, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and supplies. None of these opportunities explicitly reference the curcibita squash puree commodity.

The issuing-body mix reflects recurring state and local food-service procurement: three school districts (Rockwood R-VI, Burke County, Liberty County, Fairfax County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County systems in Missouri, Georgia, and Virginia); two state corrections departments (Oregon and Texas); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission; the Illinois Veterans Home; and Ben Hill County Schools. Geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with Texas and Georgia showing the most frequent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 IFB for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products across four school locations (due June 15, 2026). Neither procurement references the UNSPSC commodity code under review. The code shows no relevant recent state or local activity; the recorded opportunities indicate a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and current institutional buying patterns.
