UNSPSC 50626834: Non GMO jicama purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO jicama. 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 50626834 Non GMO jicama purees is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the taxonomy. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevant solicitation — the opportunities tagged to this code span prepared and shelf-stable food products for institutional food service, but none explicitly name jicama purees or non-GMO produce in their scope. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all posted food procurement notices in the past four months, but their line-item specificity targets broad categories (canned vegetables, frozen produce, condiments, proteins, and consumable supplies) rather than specialty produce purees. The code's narrow commodity definition and the absence of jicama-specific line items in recent IFBs and RFQs suggests limited active market demand at the state and local level for this particular product.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional solicitations from Illinois and federal territories. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for state hospitals and supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso (HHS0018082, HHS0017872, HHS0017449), Gwinnett County in Georgia posted an informal written quote for shelf-stable food items (PE77023NONST2027000000782, response due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes specifically (S2910000017145, bids due June 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each issued comprehensive school nutrition food bids (PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026; PE55037NONST2027000000007, due May 26, 2026). None of these opportunities list non-GMO jicama purees as a line item or specifications category. Unless vendors serve institutional food-service channels that explicitly source specialty or ethnic produce components, this code shows little current procurement momentum in state and local markets.
