UNSPSC 50626609: Non GMO white guinea yam purees

The variety of Non GMO yams known as Non GMO white guinea 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 50626609 Non GMO white guinea yam purees is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for guinea yam purees or specialized yam products; instead, the posted records reflect broad food service procurement across school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities buying canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, and supplemental food and consumable products. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia) competing for food service contracts alongside state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, and Georgia state operations). State health and human services agencies also procurement supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers. The geographic spread of posted opportunities spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent activity signals that UNSPSC 50626609 is not currently a productive code for business development targeting state and local procurement. None of the representative recent solicitations—including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food bid (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomatoes procurement (S2910000017145, ITB, due June 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006, IFB, due June 15, 2026), or Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026)—reference guinea yam purees or specialty puree products. This code appears to be either infrequently used in state and local procurement or systematically mis-tagged in the available database. Vendors supplying specialized produce purees should monitor broader food service and nutrition codes or monitor individual school district and agency procurement channels directly rather than rely on this specific commodity classification.
