UNSPSC 50626828: Non GMO gailon purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO gailon. 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 50626828 Non GMO gallon purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show little connection to gallon-format non-GMO fruit or vegetable purees; instead, they document bulk food procurement across multiple product categories for institutional food service. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Georgia and Texas school districts are soliciting canned vegetables, proteins, frozen specialty items, dairy products, condiments, and food service supplies rather than puree products by the gallon. A single Oregon procurement posted in July 2026 was titled "Potatoes, Variety," without sufficient specification detail to confirm scope. The code taxonomy appears misaligned with the goods actually being purchased under these solicitations.

Activity is concentrated in Texas (Texas HHS Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, and Burke County Public Schools also in Georgia) and includes IFB notices with response deadlines ranging from May through October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026, covering 210 line items with a prior-period value of $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive food products across multiple categories (bids due June 15, 2026). State supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities dominate the issuing-body mix. Given the code mismatch and absence of gallon-puree procurement, pursuit under this code is not well supported by the recent-opportunity record.
