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 state and local governments rarely procure as a standalone item; recent activity shows this code capturing general food and grocery procurement opportunities that span dozens of commodity lines, not ginger root specifically. The small handful of posted opportunities tagged to this code includes quarterly food orders for a state veterans facility, supplemental food and consumable products for state health and human services facilities, cafeteria food products for prison systems, and school nutrition program grocery and produce contracts. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (elementary, middle, and high school systems across Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri) and state agencies operating institutional food service operations—corrections departments, health and human services commissions, and veterans homes. State purchasing offices occasionally centralize these procurements through cooperative vehicles, as seen in Georgia's GEC Buying Cooperative framework, which aggregates demand across multiple school districts.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Texas, with activity also in Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple school districts across Georgia (Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Ben Hill) appear multiple times in recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million for September 2025–August 2026); the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste, approximately 1,904 cases (due March 9, 2026). All recent solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance, USDA standards, HACCP protocols, and firm fixed pricing with limited escalation provisions tied to published indices such as USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index. Set-aside designations and DBE/MBE restrictions are absent from available documentation, indicating open competition. Payment cycles run Net 30 to Net 40 days post-delivery, and contract terms typically span one year with renewal options extending two to four years.
