UNSPSC 50626849: Non GMO paprika purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO paprika. 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 50626849 Non GMO paprika purees, a Commodity code, represents a narrow specialty ingredient category that state and local governments procure primarily as part of broader food service supply contracts rather than as a standalone line item. The recent solicitations in the dataset show no dedicated procurements for paprika purees alone; instead, this ingredient appears embedded within comprehensive food service bids issued by school districts, state correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies. The issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school nutrition programs (Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County and Muscogee County school districts in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), supplemented by state agencies managing food service for corrections (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), healthcare (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and veterans services (Illinois Veterans Home). These jurisdictions bundle specialty and commodity ingredients—paprika purees among them—into larger food supply line-item catalogs spanning hundreds of SKUs.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois. No solicitation in the dataset names paprika purees as a discrete requirement, making direct market sizing impossible from this source. The closest proxy activity includes food commodity bids such as Ben Hill County Schools' FY-27 food bid (IFB, due June 15, 2026, response date specified as May 20, 2026 at 9:00 a.m.), Burke County Public Schools' school nutrition food bid (sealed bids due June 5, 2026, opening June 8, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education's annual fixed-price food contract with prospective price redetermination (IFB, due April 29, 2026 at 9:00 a.m.), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K–12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, sealed bids due April 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern). Paprika purees, when specified in these solicitations, typically appear as minor line items within condiments, seasonings, or specialty food categories. The code shows minimal recent procurement volume and no evidence of standalone market activity at the state or local level; vendors pursuing this category should expect to compete as part of full-service food distributor networks rather than as specialty suppliers.
