UNSPSC 50626705: Non GMO aspen corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO ambrosia 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 50626705 Non GMO aspen corn purees is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable food products for institutional feeding operations including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The code's nominal scope suggests specialized corn-based products, but recent solicitations show that state and local issuing bodies tag a much broader range of consumable food items under it — canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, frozen specialty items, and food service supplies — purchased through IFBs and informal written quotes with response deadlines typically ranging from one to three weeks. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state correctional systems (Oregon Department of Corrections), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of specialized facilities. The work involves competitive bidding on hundreds of line items with firm fixed pricing, F.O.B. Destination delivery terms requiring compliance with USDA or FDA standards, minimum shelf life guarantees, and delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt; contracts typically run 12 months with renewal or extension options.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for state-supported living center and state hospital food service — notably IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million) and IFB HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026, 22 line items) — along with a larger statewide supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, 210 line items, maximum three-year value $4.5 million). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (approximately 382 line items, extended response due May 4, 2026). In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food (due October 19, 2026), and two school districts — Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools — solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids (Ben Hill IFB #26271 due June 15, 2026; Burke County sealed bids due June 5, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections issued a canned tomatoes procurement (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026, previous purchase $13.75 per case). The Illinois Department of Human Services posted a quarterly weekly food order (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026). Code activity shows no standout repeat buyers across multiple solicitations but consistent demand from institutional feeding operations in the South and Pacific Northwest.
