UNSPSC 50626801: Non GMO alfalfa purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO alfalfa. 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 50626801 Non GMO alfalfa purees is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—including consumables foods for state supported living centers in Texas, fresh and frozen produce for county senior services in Georgia, weekly food orders for Illinois state facilities, canned tomatoes for Oregon corrections, and comprehensive grocery procurements for school nutrition programs in Georgia—involve shelf-stable prepared foods, frozen entrees, canned vegetables, dairy products, condiments, and food service supplies. None of these solicitations reference alfalfa purees, whether GMO or non-GMO. The code appears to be a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the work actually being bought.

The recent opportunities do show robust state and local food procurement activity across multiple issuing bodies: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state supported living centers and state hospitals), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Geographically, activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with a June 2026 Illinois procurement. The representative recent opportunities include Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for food items (due October 19, 2026), and Texas TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual recent activity, this code does not present a reliable signal for alfalfa puree suppliers pursuing state and local contracts.
