UNSPSC 50626604: Non GMO globe yam purees

The variety of Non GMO yams known as Non GMO globe 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 50626604 Non GMO globe yam purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities show no active solicitations for this specific product. The code nominally covers a single processed food item, yet the most recent recorded opportunities tagged to this code involve broad food-service procurement for state institutions, school districts, and correctional facilities—including proteins, frozen specialty items, canned vegetables, dairy, bakery goods, and consumable supplies. These opportunities span Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, Georgia and Oregon public agencies, and multiple school districts, with scopes bearing no clear connection to non-GMO yam purees specifically. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at issuing bodies or that this commodity sits outside active procurement focus in the state and local market right now.

Recent activity under related food codes centers on institutional food service for state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, May 2026; HHS0017449, June 2026; HHS0017872, August 2026; HHS0018082, October 2026) spanning 20 to 210 line items and estimated annual values up to $1.5 million per facility. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) and Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) have solicited bulk food items via IWQ and IFB respectively. Oregon Department of Corrections has procured canned tomatoes and potatoes in large volumes. School districts in Georgia and Texas regularly issue comprehensive food bids for multiple schools with 300–400+ line items and firm pricing periods followed by index-based adjustments. If your firm sells non-GMO yam purees to institutional food service, review the broader institutional food procurement pipeline in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon rather than the narrowly coded commodity; tagging mismatches are common, and these active buyers source through general food-service awards and may accept specialty items as catalog or line-item additions if they fit institutional nutrition or dietary requirements.
