UNSPSC 50626700: Non GMO corn purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO corn. 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 50626700 Non GMO corn purees is a Class code under which state and local governments purchase food products for institutional nutrition programs, specifically canned or processed vegetables and related consumables. The code sees broad issuing-body activity: school districts (elementary through high school nutrition programs), state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies operating residential facilities and state hospitals, and veteran's homes all procure under this family. Recent opportunities show school districts as the dominant buyer category, with multiple Georgia school systems, Missouri districts, Virginia counties, and Texas agencies posting bids for comprehensive food supply contracts that include corn purees as line items within broader grocery and produce solicitations.

State and local procurement under this code concentrates in the Southeast and South-Central regions, with material recent activity in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) seeking comprehensive food products including produce categories across four school locations with quarterly pricing adjustments permitted; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Buy American Act compliance, USDA grade standards, HACCP plan requirements, and firm fixed pricing for initial contract terms are consistent contract features. School nutrition programs typically allow price redetermination semi-annually or annually based on USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indices, with most contracts running July 1 through June 30 to align with academic calendars.
