UNSPSC 50626749: Non GMO pristine corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO pristine 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 50626749 Non GMO pristine corn purees is a Commodity code that frames a narrow product category, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect broader food service procurement for institutional buyers. The solicitations show state agencies, county governments, and school districts purchasing a wide range of shelf-stable and prepared foods—canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, and consumable supplies—for cafeterias, living centers, senior programs, and detention facilities. The code's nominal scope (non-GMO corn purees specifically) does not align with the actual work being solicited; the opportunities span generic food service contracts where corn purees, if present at all, would be a single line item among hundreds. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, DSHS), state corrections agencies (Texas TDCJ, Oregon DOC), county boards of commissioners and schools, city and county boards of education, and state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of multiple end-users. Repeat buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which posted at least three solicitations between May and October 2026 for state-supported living centers and state hospital food service contracts.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with scattered postcings elsewhere. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery within seven days; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a prior award price of $13.75 per case (due June 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive school nutrition procurement across four schools (due June 15, 2026). The Texas TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five warehouse regions (due May 4, 2026, extended) encompasses roughly 382 line items with firm fixed pricing on an F.O.B. Destination basis and contract term through August 31, 2027 plus two one-year renewal options. These contracts typically require firm fixed pricing, F.O.B. Destination delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, references, compliance with federal food and labor standards, and liability insurance; many impose Buy American provisions and HACCP plan requirements for school and institutional food service.
