UNSPSC 50626815: Non GMO carob purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO carob. 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 50626815 Non GMO carob purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this designation in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities tagged with this code involve general food supply and produce procurement for schools, correctional facilities, and state institutions — canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery items — rather than carob purees or specialty nut-based ingredients. The mismatch suggests tagging inconsistency in the underlying procurement system rather than active demand for the nominal commodity.

State and local buyers posting under this code span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state supported living centers and state hospitals, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school nutrition programs. Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 (solicitation S2910000017145), Rockwood R-VI School District soliciting grocery items and Net Off Invoice products for the 2026–2027 school year with bids due April 29, 2026 (solicitations CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027 and CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYNONST2027000000006), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting bids for supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers with responses due July 13, 2026 (HHS0017449), and Fairfax County Public Schools seeking Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery for 45 schools due April 27, 2026 (IFB 2000004323). The code shows no recent relevant activity for non-GMO carob purees specifically.
