UNSPSC 50626800: Non GMO nominant vegetable purees

Non GMO vegetable types that belong to no other class and have no other Non GMO vegetable commodities related to them. 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 50626800 Non GMO nominant vegetable purees is a Class code covering food service products procured by state and local public agencies, though recent solicitations under this code show activity spanning broader shelf-stable and fresh food procurement rather than purees exclusively. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy consumable food and related supplies for correctional facilities, state supported living centers, schools, senior services programs, and other institutional cafeteria and food service operations. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), county boards of commissioners, county schools, independent school districts, and specialized state agencies. Texas agencies appear as repeat buyers—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for consumables and food products serving state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued an IFB on behalf of TDCJ for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods including prepared foods and food service supplies for Lufkin State Supported Living Center with 22 line items and estimated annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces for senior services; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) soliciting hundreds of line items across fresh produce, meat, dairy, bread, ice cream, and kitchen supplies for school nutrition programs at four locations. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better standards with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent. Contracts typically run 12 months with renewal options, require FOB Destination delivery, F.O.B. Destination pricing, vendor references, and compliance with federal requirements including E-Verify, debarment certification, and often Buy American provisions for school nutrition programs.
