UNSPSC 50626810: Non GMO batata purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO batatas. 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 50626810 Non GMO batata purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments purchase this code as a line item within broader food-service and consumables solicitations—batata purees appear as one among dozens of prepared or specialty food products ordered for institutional cafeterias, food-service operations, and supply programs. The code does not show standalone batata-puree-specific solicitations in recent activity; instead, it is subsumed within larger competitive food-service procurements issued by state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and county governments. The work involves supplying institutional food operations—state-supported living centers, prisons, schools, senior services centers, and hospital networks—with shelf-stable or prepared food products that meet USDA and FDA standards, arrive within specified delivery windows (typically 7 to 30 days of order), and comply with Buy American provisions where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental and consumable foods to state hospitals and state-supported living centers, with a representative example being HHS0017872 (posted August 11, 2026, due August 25, 2026), which requested bids on 20 line items of food products and food-service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center for fiscal year 2027. Gwinnett County, Georgia posted an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, and sauces for the Department of Community Services, while Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB on May 19, 2026 (due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive school nutrition food including fresh produce, meat, dairy, and prepared items across four school locations. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes on June 5, 2026 (due June 19, 2026), illustrating the region's activity in institutional food procurement. These solicitations typically require F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight prepaid, three to five verifiable references, and compliance with E-Verify, debarment certification, and state-specific preferences (Texas bidder preference, Oregon-fabricated goods preference).
