UNSPSC 50626728: Non GMO hudson corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO hudson 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 50626728 Non GMO hudson corn purees is a Commodity code that nominally names a single product line but does not align with the state and local opportunities recently posted under this code. The recent solicitations show little to no procurement activity matching non-GMO Hudson corn purees specifically. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code reflect a much broader scope: state and local governments are buying general food and consumable products for institutional food service, including fresh, frozen, canned, and specialty items alongside food service supplies and kitchen equipment. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice procure food for state-supported living centers and correctional facilities; Georgia counties and school districts solicit groceries for school nutrition programs and senior services; and Oregon public agencies buy commodities such as canned tomatoes and potatoes. The issuing bodies span state departments, county nutrition offices, school districts, and correctional agencies. This code as tagged does not appear to reflect a coherent procurement category in practice.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables statewide, with a response deadline of March 19, 2026, and a three-year potential value of $4.5 million; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food procurement across four facilities, due June 15, 2026; Burke County Public Schools' sealed-bid solicitation for nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories, due June 5, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better), due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase reference price of $13.75 per case; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items, due October 19, 2026. The code's nominal scope does not match the actual work being solicited, and purchasing activity appears to be routine commodity food service procurement rather than a specialized non-GMO product line.
