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 (Commodity) does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under this code. The opportunities posted show no solicitations for caperberry purees or functionally equivalent specialty produce items; instead, the code captures general food service procurement across school districts, state agencies, and corrections departments seeking broad commodity food supplies including canned tomatoes, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods for institutional meal programs. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Ben Hill County Schools), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county or regional purchasing cooperatives supporting multiple districts. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with recent IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs issued throughout the first half of 2026 for fiscal-year 2026-2027 meal service contracts.

Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with estimated historical spend of $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016089 (due February 9, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) procurements for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products (due April 29, 2026) encompassing approximately 900 line items across multiple categories for the 2026-2027 school year. The code shows material recent activity but no alignment with non-GMO caperberry purees specifically—vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete on commodity food staples for institutional food service rather than specialty or branded produce items.
