UNSPSC 50626838: Non GMO lo bok purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO lo bok. 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 50626838 Non GMO lo bok purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local activity and little clear alignment between the code's nominal product scope and the opportunities the source records. State and local procurement offices tag food solicitations broadly across the UNSPSC produce and consumables hierarchy; the recent opportunities logged under this code span canned tomatoes, fresh produce, grocery items, eggs, and prepared entrees across school districts, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes — none of which are non-GMO lo bok purees. The issuing bodies are primarily school nutrition programs and state health agencies (notably Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple Georgia and Missouri school districts), but the source provides no evidence that any of these jurisdictions have solicited the specific commodity this code names.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Missouri) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon) among school districts, with additional state-level procurement by Texas and Illinois, but these opportunities represent generic food and produce categories rather than non-GMO lo bok purees specifically. The sourced opportunities include Texas HHS food procurement (IFB HHS0017449, closing Jul 13, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food bid (IFB 304T26300CF, closing May 4, 2026), and multiple school district fresh-produce and grocery RFPs closing between late February and late June 2026 across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. The code shows no material recent procurement activity aligned with its stated commodity definition, suggesting either minimal demand for non-GMO lo bok purees among state and local buyers or systematic miscoding of opportunities in the available record.
