UNSPSC 50626812: Non GMO beet top purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO beet tops. 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 50626812, Non GMO beet top purees, is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product category with minimal recent procurement activity in state and local markets. The source material contains ten recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code, but none of them actually solicits non-GMO beet top purees or any beet-derived products. Instead, the recent opportunities cover broad consumable food procurement for state institutions—primarily food service items, proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, fresh produce, and kitchen supplies for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state agencies across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations indicates that this UNSPSC category sees little relevant activity, or that state and local procurement offices are systematically miscoding general food and consumables purchases under it.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities are exclusively state agencies and school districts: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County (Georgia) Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include IFB HHS0018082 from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; IWQ 140229 from Gwinnett County (Georgia) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, and canned vegetables (due October 19, 2026); and IFB 304T-26-300CF from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across proteins, grains, and condiments for multiple warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026). No procurement opportunities in the source material solicited non-GMO beet top purees or related specialty vegetable products.
