UNSPSC 50626809: Non GMO banana leaf purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO banana leaf. 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 50626809 Non GMO banana leaf purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract product name—banana leaf purees—does not align with the scope of recently posted opportunities under this code. The recent opportunities block shows 18 solicitations, none of which explicitly target banana leaf purees or specialty food purées; instead, the tagged opportunities span broadly across school nutrition food procurement (fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy), state institutional food service (hospitals, corrections facilities, supported living centers), and general grocery supplies. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code name and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities or that banana leaf purees represent an insignificant subset of a larger food supply contract. Issuers across the recent block include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia and Illinois state agencies), county and municipal school systems (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham in Georgia; Rockwood in Missouri; Fairfax County in Virginia), and transit or specialized authorities (Illinois Veterans Home). The activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs and state institutional feeding as the dominant use cases.

School districts and state agencies are the active buyer base under this code tier. School nutrition procurements dominate recent activity, with solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB Master Grocery K-12, April 2026), multiple Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), Rockwood School District in Missouri (grocery and NOI products, April 2026), and Douglas County Schools in Georgia (RFP for fresh produce and eggs, February 2026). State institutional food service is the secondary driver—Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables for hospitals and supported living centers, HHS0016792, due February 2026; and food for El Paso State Supported Living Center, HHS0017449, due July 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections (canned tomatoes, S2910000017145, June 2026; tomato paste, S2910000016089, March 2026; canned tomatoes, S2910000015837, February 2026), Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office (cafeteria food products, 304T26300CF, May 2026), and the Illinois Veterans Home (quarterly food orders, February and June 2026). No recent opportunities explicitly solicit banana leaf purees, whole or pureed fruit products, or specialty ingredient purees under this code. The code shows little decision-relevant recent activity for vendors supplying the nominal product category.
