UNSPSC 50626845: Non Gmoo moo purees

The type of Non Gmoo vegetable known as Non Gmoo moo. 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 50626845 Non GMO moo purees (Commodity) describes shelf-stable food products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — specifically, prepared and canned food items for canteens, cafeterias, and on-campus dining programs at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and senior services centers. Recent solicitations show a mix of individual prepared foods (frozen entrees, protein components, specialty items), canned vegetables and proteins, and associated food service consumables (containers, napkins, straws, foil). Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state departments of corrections. Texas agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice) and Georgia jurisdictions (Gwinnett County, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools) appear frequently in recent postings. The code captures both broad food-service supply contracts and narrower commodity buys.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products — HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, consumables and prepared foods, IFB due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, mixed food and consumables, IFB due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and canned vegetables under IWQ 140229 (quotes due October 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each issued comprehensive food bids spanning hundreds of line items for school nutrition programs (Ben Hill IFB due June 15, 2026; Burke County sealed bids due June 5, 2026 at the board office). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Comptroller's office) procured approximately 382 line items of cafeteria foods including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, and staples under IFB 304T-26-300CF (extended response due May 4, 2026). Oregon has posted narrower commodity procurements such as canned tomatoes (Oregon Department of Corrections, IFB S2910000017145, 7,616 cases, bids due June 19, 2026). Illinois has also appeared in recent postings for weekly food orders under FY-27 IVHQ contracts.
