UNSPSC 50626519: Non GMO warted hubbard squash purees

The variety of Non GMO winter squashes and Non GMO winter pumpkins known as Non GMO warted hubbard 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 50626519 Non GMO warted hubbard squash purees (Commodity) shows limited direct activity in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—specialty squash puree products—does not align with the recent opportunities actually tagged under it. Food procurement across state and local jurisdictions centers instead on broad grocery and food service categories: canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, prepared entrees, and consumable supplies for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans homes, and state health and human services institutions. The issuing bodies span school districts (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, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home), and a county schools system serving 30 districts through a cooperative vehicle (Douglas County School System GEC Buying Cooperative).

The geographic spread spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Missouri, with the highest recent activity concentrated in Georgia (five school district opportunities), Texas (three state agency procurements for HHSC and TDCJ), and Oregon (two Department of Corrections solicitations). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026); and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One (due March 4, 2026). No recent opportunities explicitly soliciting non-GMO warted hubbard squash purees appear in the dataset; the code's recent activity reflects general food commodity procurement rather than this specific product line.
