UNSPSC 50626830: Non GMO ginger root purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO ginger root. 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 50626830 Non GMO ginger root purees is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within broader food procurement, though state and local governments soliciting under this code do not appear to be buying ginger root purees specifically. Recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code instead show procurement of general food products for institutional dining and food service operations—including fresh produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, and consumable food service supplies for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and county senior services programs. The issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state-supported living centers), Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Illinois state agencies, and state government procurement divisions. The scope of work actually being solicited under this code encompasses shelf-stable and fresh institutional food items, packaging materials, and food service supplies—not specialty items like non-GMO ginger root purees—suggesting a significant mismatch between the code's nominal commodity definition and what procurement offices are actually buying.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple Health and Human Services and criminal justice solicitations), Georgia (school districts and county government), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods and food service supplies at Lufkin State Supported Living Center; Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and pasta; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for a comprehensive food procurement spanning fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition; the opportunities listed under it represent general institutional food sourcing rather than specialty ginger products, indicating either systematic miscoding by state procurement offices or limited real demand for non-GMO ginger root purees in the state and local market.
