UNSPSC 50626811: Non GMO bean sprout purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO bean sprouts. 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 50626811 Non GMO bean sprout purees is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable and prepared food products for institutional food service operations, though the recent solicitation activity shows little direct procurement of bean sprout purees specifically. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily institutional purchasers—state health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers and state hospitals, county and municipal school districts, county senior services programs, state departments of corrections, and state comptroller offices procuring on behalf of correctional systems. The work spans acquisition of prepared and fresh food items, frozen proteins and specialty entrees, canned vegetables and fruits, dairy products, condiments, baking supplies, and associated food service consumables and supplies (containers, napkins, serving equipment, gloves, food service wraps). Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (with multiple state supported living centers and state hospital facilities), Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple school districts across Georgia and Illinois. These entities conduct solicitations as IFBs, RFQs, and informal written quotes with response dates typically ranging from one to three weeks.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and food products across fiscal year 2027 operations—most recently HHS0018082 for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017872 also for Lufkin (bids due August 25, 2026), with a larger procurement HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually) and HHS0016792V2 covering supplemental food and consumables statewide with a maximum three-year potential value of $4,500,000. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes under IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (quotes due October 19, 2026). School district activity includes Ben Hill County Schools requesting sealed bids for food products (bids due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia seeking sealed bids for school nutrition procurement across five facilities (bids due June 5, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF via the Comptroller) encompassed approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for distribution across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations (response due May 4, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes in June 2026 with the previous purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. An Illinois state agency (FY-27 IVHQ) requested bids for quarterly weekly food orders in June 2026. No recent opportunities directly name non-GMO bean sprout purees as a line item; the code shows activity primarily in conventional shelf-stable and prepared institutional food procurement rather than specialty or non-GMO products.
