UNSPSC 50626850: Non GMO purslanepurees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO purslane. 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 50626850 Non GMO purslane purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope — specialty vegetable purees — does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities currently posted under it. The recent opportunities block contains fifteen solicitations spanning Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri, but none specifically solicit purslane products or purees of any kind. Instead, the tagged opportunities cover broad food service procurement: canned and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, bakery items, and consumable supplies for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and veterans' homes. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual buying patterns suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that purslane purees are procured under different codes or represent a negligible slice of state and local food service spending.

The issuing bodies in this dataset span state departments (Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia), county and municipal school districts (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Douglas County, Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County), and state-supported facilities (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home). No vendor has posted a purslane puree offering, and no buyer has solicited one. The geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast (Georgia, Missouri) and scattered across the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with Texas and Illinois also represented. If purslane purees are being purchased by state and local jurisdictions, they are not appearing in current RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notice traffic under this code.
