UNSPSC 50626822: Non GMO dasheen purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO dasheen. 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 50626822 Non GMO dasheen purees is a Commodity code that does not see meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The eight state and local contract opportunities posted since May 2026 show no solicitations for dasheen purees or related root vegetable purees. The recent opportunities instead focus on broad food service categories: canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, dry goods, and consumable supplies across institutional meal programs. The code's nominal scope does not align with what state and local governments are actually procuring under food service contracts at present.

The recent opportunities span Texas health and human services facilities (Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers), Georgia county and school nutrition programs (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon state corrections, Illinois state agencies, and institutional food service generally. The largest procurements are Texas HHS multi-location contracts ranging up to $4.5 million over three years and state criminal justice food service awards covering hundreds of line items across multiple regional distribution points. Without active demand for non-GMO dasheen purees in the posted record, this code does not present a current business development opportunity under state and local procurement.
