UNSPSC 50626750: Non GMO quickie corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO quickie 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 50626750 Non GMO quickie corn purees is a Commodity code. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not actually buy corn purees; instead, they describe broad consumable food procurement for institutional cafeterias, food service operations, and nutrition programs. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, through multiple IFBs for state supported living centers and state hospitals, solicits hundreds of line items spanning fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated foods including proteins, dairy, produce, condiments, and food service supplies. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and Ben Hill County Schools procure similarly broad product categories—canned goods, shelf-stable items, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, and produce—typically aggregated into single comprehensive contracts rather than commodity-specific purchases. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, corrections agencies, county purchasing offices, and school district nutrition programs. Work under the code involves food service supply contracts for state institutions, county senior services, and school cafeteria operations, with vendors required to meet USDA grades, FDA standards, and Buy American Act compliance where applicable, deliver within tight timelines (typically 7 days to 72 hours of order), and maintain broad inventories rather than specialize in a single product line.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and Georgia state procurement), and Oregon (ODOC canned tomato procurement). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026) covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (quotes due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections procurement for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026) with a prior award at $13.75 per case; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas (bids due May 4, 2026, extended). The code shows little targeted activity for non-GMO corn purees specifically; the mismatch between the nominal commodity description and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding of these food service opportunities or minimal recent demand for the specific product line.
