UNSPSC 50626608: Non GMO potato yam purees

The variety of Non GMO yams known as Non GMO potato 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 50626608 Non GMO potato yam purees, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains sixteen food-service solicitations spanning school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state health and human services agencies—covering canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, tomato paste, comprehensive grocery items, and food supply distribution across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri. None of these opportunities reference potato or yam purees, non-GMO specifications, or puree products. The code's nominal scope does not align with the purchases state and local governments are actually making in this product family at present.

State and local food-service procurement activity remains robust across school districts, state corrections departments, and health and human services commissions, with issuing bodies concentrated in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), and Missouri (Rockwood School District). School nutrition programs dominate the solicitation volume, supported by health services facilities and corrections operations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumables procurement (HHS0017449) with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and responses due July 13, 2026; the Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP seeking approximately $9 million annually; and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006) covering multiple categories with responses due June 15, 2026. Pricing structures typically require firm fixed pricing with allowances for adjustment tied to USDA indices or CPI, Buy American Act compliance is nearly universal, HACCP plans and food safety certifications are standard, and payment terms run 30 days net from delivery or invoice.
