UNSPSC 50626847: Non GMO opo purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO opos. 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 50626847 Non GMO opo purees is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity appearing in recent solicitations. The source contains no relevant opportunities specifically for non-GMO opo purees or comparable specialty fruit purees. Recent state and local food procurement under the associated code tags encompasses prepared and shelf-stable foods (canned proteins, vegetables, fruits, condiments, dairy, grains, baking supplies), fresh and frozen produce, meat and seafood, food service supplies (containers, napkins, foil, straws, hairnets), and cafeteria or institutional kitchen products. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon DOC), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county and municipal nutrition programs (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state-supported living centers. The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Texas appearing as the most active jurisdiction for large institutional food and consumable procurement.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery within seven days; the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces (due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026). The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for TDCJ cafeteria food products encompassed approximately 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and condiments across five geographic distribution areas. None of these opportunities specify procurement of non-GMO opo purees or similar specialty fruit-based ingredients, indicating that this particular commodity code either sees no recent state and local activity or is misaligned with actual buying patterns in the food service category.
