UNSPSC 50626831: Non GMO gobo purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO gobo. 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 50626831 Non GMO gobo purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears in state and local solicitations only tangentially, with recent opportunities posted under this taxonomy code actually covering broad food and consumable procurement for state institutions, school districts, and corrections facilities rather than specialty vegetable purees specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests the code does not represent a material procurement category in state and local markets today.

Recent solicitations tagged to this code—including the Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food order (RFQ, due February 24, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), and Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato and tomato paste procurements (ITB S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026)—describe purchases of standard institutional food commodities such as canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees rather than non-GMO gobo purees or specialty processed vegetable products. School district food service procurements in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia covering produce, proteins, and shelf-stable staples similarly do not reference gobo purees as line items or categories. The code shows no identifiable activity in recent state or local contract opportunities that would justify pursuit on the basis of demonstrated buyer demand.
