UNSPSC 50626603: Non GMO chinese yam purees

The variety of Non GMO yams known as Non GMO chinese yams. 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 50626603 Non GMO chinese yam purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The twelve opportunities posted between January and June 2026 under this code span food service provisioning across school districts, correctional facilities, and state health-and-human-services institutions, but the solicitations name canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, cafeteria staples, and broad grocery categories — not chinese yam purees or yam products of any kind. The code assignment appears to be a data classification artifact rather than a reflection of actual buying activity under this commodity line.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); state agencies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), and State of Georgia. Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement (HHS0017449, IFB, response due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; Ben Hill County Schools (PE61000NONST2027000000006, IFB, response due June 15, 2026) seeking food products across multiple categories; and Fairfax County Public Schools (2000004323, IFB, response due April 27, 2026) requesting a Master Grocery K-12 contract for 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. No recent solicitations name yam purees or related specialty produce items, suggesting this code sees minimal or misdirected activity in state and local procurement at present.
