UNSPSC 50626842: Non GMO mallow purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO mallows. 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 50626842 Non GMO mallow purees is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers shelf-stable and prepared food products sourced for institutional food service operations — cafeterias, canteens, state facilities, and school nutrition programs. The code's nominal scope (mallow purees) bears little relation to the actual work being solicited; state and local agencies are instead procuring broad baskets of consumable food items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy products, grains, condiments, canned vegetables and fruits, and food service supplies. Issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), state criminal justice systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), counties (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), and state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing). The mix reflects institutional food service at scale — state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, public schools, and senior services centers.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables serving state-supported living centers, including HHS0017449 (El Paso facility, July 2026 response, prior-year value $1.5 million) and HHS0018082 (Lufkin facility, October 23, 2026 closing for fiscal year 2027 operations). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229, October 19, 2026 closing) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products. Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) and Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) each issued food bids in May and June 2026 spanning hundreds of line items for school nutrition programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections and State of Georgia also appear in the recent record. Delivery-within-seven-days requirements, F.O.B. Destination pricing, three-reference vendor qualifications, and compliance certifications (E-Verify, debarment, human trafficking prohibitions) are standard across issuers. The code shows steady institutional procurement demand but exhibits little actual specialization in mallow purees.
