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 is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little meaningful recent opportunity volume. The most recent opportunities on file describe food-service procurement across multiple categories — fresh produce, frozen vegetables, canned goods, dairy, proteins, condiments, and consumable supplies — for state institutions, school districts, and county facilities, yet none explicitly reference purslane or purslane purees as a line item or distinct product. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia and Georgia county school systems, and Georgia county governments have posted multiple food procurements in recent months, but their scope descriptions, itemized line lists, and historical award records do not isolate purslane-based products as a recurring or current buy. When agencies do specify preserved or processed vegetable products — canned tomatoes, condiments, sauces — the records name the specific item rather than a genus-level category, suggesting that purslane purees, if purchased at all under this code, arrive as part of a broader consumables tender rather than as a standalone commodity demand signal.

The geographic concentration of recent food-service procurement activity centers on Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (state and county school districts), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with scattered activity in Illinois. None of these jurisdictions has posted a standalone IFB, RFQ, or ITN explicitly naming purslane or purslane purees within the date range. The absence of direct opportunity data under this code, combined with the presence of robust parallel food-procurement activity in institutional and K–12 segments, suggests either that purslane purees do not represent a material purchase category in state and local food service today, or that when such products are bought, they are bundled under broader commodity or family codes rather than this specific UNSPSC designation. Business development professionals should confirm current demand through direct outreach to institutional food-service buyers in target states before allocating pursuit resources to this Commodity code.
