UNSPSC 50626829: Non GMO galang purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO galanga. 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 50626829 Non GMO galang purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes non-GMO galang purees but shows little relevant recent procurement activity under that specific commodity name. The recent opportunities tagged to this code actually solicit broad consumable and prepared food products for state institutions — including cafeteria and canteen operations at state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and senior services centers. Solicitations name proteins (chicken, beef, fish), frozen prepared foods (fries, burritos, specialty entrees), dairy, grains, canned and fresh vegetables, fruits, condiments, sauces, and food service supplies (containers, napkins, hairnets, straws). Issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, school districts, and county senior services divisions. The work is predominantly institutional food service procurement — bid-based sourcing for high-volume, specification-driven supply.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Health and Human Services Commission state-supported living center and correctional facility procurements), Georgia (school districts in Burke County and Ben Hill County, plus Gwinnett County senior services), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned goods). The Texas HHS Commission issued multiple IFBs in mid-2026 for consumable foods at Lufkin and El Paso state-supported living centers (HHS0017872 and HHS0017449, due August 25 and July 13, 2026 respectively) and a statewide supplemental food procurement for hospitals and living centers (HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026, later extended). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools each issued comprehensive school nutrition bids spanning nearly 400 line items with weekly delivery to multiple school sites. Oregon Department of Corrections requested 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-resident bidders. Awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with delivery FOB Destination within 7 days of order or 30 days of purchase order issuance, and contracts commonly include renewal or extension options running through the following fiscal year.
