UNSPSC 50626744: Non GMO pearl white corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO pearl white 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 50626744 Non GMO pearl white corn purees is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty corn products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal activity specifically targeting non-GMO pearl white corn purees. The few opportunities posted near this code's scope reflect a broader pattern in which state and local procurement offices tag food-service buys with general commodity codes rather than narrowly specified ingredient codes. State and local governments buying under this space are primarily state health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers and correctional facilities, alongside school nutrition programs and county senior services operations. These buyers source prepared and specialty foods through consolidated buys that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items across proteins, grains, produce, dairy, condiments, and supplies—meaning a vendor pursuing this code would typically need to carry a full institutional food-service portfolio rather than specialize in a single ingredient category.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office), Georgia (state procurement office, county and school district nutrition programs), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which itemized 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026); and the Texas HHS IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-year spend of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a narrower RFQ for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026), establishing a prior unit price of $13.75 per case. These procurements are typically issued as IFBs or IWQs with response windows of 7 to 30 days, F.O.B. Destination delivery requirements, and awards based on lowest responsive bid or best value.
