UNSPSC 50626853: Non GMO soybean purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO soybeans. 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 50626853 Non GMO soybean purees is a Commodity code. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal relevance to the nominal category name. The single opportunity framed under this code—Oregon's July 2026 potato purchase (S2910000017145)—does not involve soybean purees at all but rather canned tomatoes and potatoes. The broader recent activity in the source comprises food procurement for state supported living centers, county senior services, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state hospitals, with solicitations from Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia school districts, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state government, and Ben Hill County Schools. These opportunities span prepared foods, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy products, condiments, canned goods, and food service supplies—none of which are soybean purees or soybean-derived products. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The geographic spread across these opportunities covers Texas (multiple solicitations from HHSC and TDCJ), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and state-level procurement), Oregon (potatoes and canned tomatoes), and Illinois (quarterly food orders). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's August 2026 IFB HHS0017872 for consumables and noncontract items at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due August 25, 2026), Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026). These procurement bodies award to responsive and responsible bidders on best-value or lowest-price bases, often splitting awards across vendors and reserving the right to adjust pricing subject to market indexes.
