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 (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for mallow purees—a specialized botanical product with minimal food-service demand. The 16 recent opportunities tagged to this code actually cover broad food procurement across school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and commodity purchasing by state corrections and health departments, encompassing canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and general grocery items—none of which are mallow purees or closely related specialty products. This classification mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were coded or a code repurposing that no longer reflects actual procurement intent.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the recorded opportunities include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County school systems), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and special-purpose institutions (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). The geographic spread spans Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts representing the dominant buyer category. Recent opportunities include Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (posted May 19 and February 26, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), Oregon Department of Corrections' ITBs for canned tomatoes and tomato paste (posted February 20 and January 26, 2026, with response dates in March 2026), and multiple K–12 school district food procurement RFPs and IFBs across Georgia and Virginia due between April and June 2026. Given the code-to-opportunity mismatch, business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing activity in this category.
