UNSPSC 50626805: Non GMO arrowhead purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO arrowhead. 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 50626805 Non GMO arrowhead purees (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity under this code. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show no purchases of arrowhead purees, GMO or non-GMO. Instead, the tagged opportunities cover broad food service procurement for state institutions and school districts, including proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, frozen items, condiments, bakery products, and food service supplies. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought suggests this Commodity code sees little or no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

State agencies, county school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities issue the majority of tracked food service RFQs and IFBs under broader food-related codes. Recent opportunities span Texas (Health and Human Services Commission and Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Schools, and State of Georgia), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois (state institutions). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center with responses due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case. These procurements typically require F.O.B. Destination delivery, three vendor references, compliance with federal food standards, and firm fixed pricing, often with price adjustments tied to USDA or CPI indices at renewal. No evidence of activity under UNSPSC 50626805 specifically exists in the current opportunity set.
