UNSPSC 50626814: Non GMO caperberry purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO caperberries. 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 50626814 Non GMO caperberry purees is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line that state and local governments theoretically purchase for institutional food service. In practice, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no solicitations specifically requesting caperberry purees or products marketed as such. The most recent opportunities posted under the code actually solicit broad consumable food products—prepared foods, shelf-stable groceries, canned goods, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and food service supplies—for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The code's nominal scope does not align with the work being bought; the seven opportunities on file name Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), State of Georgia, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement offices, but none of these solicitations identify caperberry purees as a line item or product category. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, county social services, state corrections departments, and school districts.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumable foods, due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (food items for senior services, due October 19, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food products (due June 15, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools' sealed-bid school nutrition procurement (due June 5, 2026). These solicitations request hundreds of line items each across multiple food categories but do not reference non-GMO caperberry purees or specialty condiment products. The code appears to be a mismatch with the actual procurement activity tagged against it; vendors evaluating opportunities under this code should verify category alignment before pursuing, as the tagging does not reflect the scope of work being solicited.
