UNSPSC 50626821: Non GMO dandelion purees

The variety of vegetable known as Non GMO dandelions. 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 50626821 Non GMO dandelion purees, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single solicitation opportunity tagged under this code—Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026—represents a mismatch: canned tomatoes are not dandelion purees and do not suggest demand for the specialty product the code describes. The remaining opportunities in the dataset span standard food service consumables (fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, grains, prepared entrees, canned vegetables, condiments, and food service supplies) solicited by state supported living centers, state departments of criminal justice, county schools, and county human services departments across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, but none reference dandelion purees or comparable non-GMO specialty plant-based products. The procurement activity under related food codes is robust and recurring—Texas Health and Human Services Commission, county school districts, and state correctional systems issue IFBs and IWQs on two-to-four-week cycles—but the dandelion puree code itself does not reflect this broader market engagement.

This code appears inactive as a category for state and local procurement purposes. No issuing body has solicited non-GMO dandelion purees or equivalent products in the recent opportunities window. If dandelion purees are part of a vendor's product portfolio, they are not being specified by government food service procurement offices at the commodity level; any market opportunity would require direct outreach to institutions sourcing specialty plant-based or non-GMO ingredients rather than response to posted solicitations.
