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, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities solicited under this code span shelf-stable food products for institutional food service—canned tomatoes, potatoes, prepared proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy items, condiments, and fresh produce—but do not reflect procurement for non-GMO corn purees specifically. The issuing bodies are state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, county governments, and school districts, all sourcing general food supplies for cafeterias, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs rather than specialized corn puree products. The mismatch suggests the code may be used as a catch-all category for shelf-stable food items by some procurement offices, or the tagging reflects administrative artifact rather than the actual scope of work.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Texas Comptroller's office), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the State of Georgia), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), with activity spanning May through October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center (responses due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, previous purchase $13.75 per case), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food (bids due June 15, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (responses due May 4, 2026). No recent opportunities present procurement demand for non-GMO corn purees under this code.
