UNSPSC 50626701: Non GMO aloha corn purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO chrysanthemum greens. 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 50626701 Non GMO aloha corn purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. Recent solicitations posted under this code overwhelmingly cover broad food-service supply for public institutions—school districts, corrections departments, health and human services facilities, and veterans' homes—across proteins, produce, dairy, prepared foods, and consumable supplies. The code's nominal focus on a single product category bears no relationship to what state and local governments are actually purchasing: full-line grocery and food distribution contracts serving hundreds of line items, often with annual values ranging from $1.5 million to $9 million. Issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District), state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and other public institutions. The mismatch between the code name and procurement scope suggests either miscoding at the source or a legacy categorization that no longer serves its intended purpose.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with significant recent volume in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and responses due July 13, 2026; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food products with deliveries to four school locations and a response deadline of June 15, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, with bids due June 19, 2026, representing eight full truckloads. Fairfax County Public Schools issued an IFB for Master Grocery K-12 services spanning 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with responses due April 27, 2026. School districts dominate the recent posting volume, followed by state correctional and health service agencies. The code shows active procurement but little relevance to the nominal commodity it purports to represent.
