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, represents fluid fruit or vegetable puree products in bulk quantities sourced for institutional food service operations. State and local governments procure these items primarily through school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and health and human services agencies that operate large-scale food production or meal-preparation operations. The recent solicitation activity shows school districts dominating the market, with purchasing offices in Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Texas issuing bids for comprehensive food supply contracts that bundle purees alongside fresh produce, proteins, and prepared foods. Corrections departments and state health agencies also appear regularly, particularly in Texas and Oregon, procuring food consumables for state-operated facilities including corrections institutions, state hospitals, and supported living centers. Issuing bodies span independent school districts of varying size, state correctional agencies, state health and human services commissions, and county school systems, with school nutrition programs representing the largest share of recent activity.

The geographic footprint extends across the Southeast (Georgia, with multiple school districts and counties in recent RFPs and IFBs), the Upper Midwest (Missouri, with Rockwood R-VI School District issuing dual grocery solicitations), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections issuing regular food product ITBs). Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer across multiple solicitations for state hospitals and supported living centers, as does the State of Illinois through its veterans homes. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center and Department of State Health Services statewide, covering NIGP food service classes with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior fiscal year; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food products across multiple categories with delivery to four school locations; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined. Purees and similar processed fruit or vegetable products appear embedded within broader food supply contracts rather than as standalone line items, suggesting procurement professionals should position purees as components within master grocery or specialty food service agreements targeting school districts, corrections systems, and state health facilities.
