UNSPSC 50626807: Non GMO arum purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO arum. 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 50626807 Non GMO arum purees is a Commodity code with limited recent procurement activity under its specific name; state and local food service operations instead solicit this code as part of broader consumables and prepared-food purchases tied to institutional dining, school nutrition programs, and food service supply chains. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitation explicitly naming arum purees or non-GMO root-vegetable purees as a line item or primary scope. The code appears infrequently or not at all in active state and local procurement postings as a standalone commodity, suggesting either minimal demand or administrative classification of arum products under higher-level produce or prepared-food categories.

Activity across the broader food procurement landscape—the closest analog to this code's nominal scope—centers on Texas state health and human services agencies (HHSC, DSHS) serving state hospitals and supported living centers, Georgia school districts and state agencies, and Oregon procurement offices for Department of Corrections food supply. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple food-and-consumables IFBs (HHS0018082 due Oct 23, 2026; HHS0017872 due Aug 25, 2026; HHS0017449 due Jul 13, 2026; HHS0016792V2 due Mar 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia have posted school-nutrition food IFBs (due Jun 15, 2026 and Jun 5, 2026 respectively). Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due Jun 19, 2026) and an unspecified potato variety procurement (S2910000017460, due Jul 27, 2026). Without explicit recent demand for arum purees in the posted solicitations, a business development professional should verify demand at target health-and-human-services and school-nutrition accounts before committing resources to this specific commodity code.
