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 that sees sparse recent activity in state and local procurement; the posted opportunities under this code do not reflect soybean-puree purchasing. The most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code actually solicit general food and consumable products for school nutrition programs, state facilities, and correctional institutions—including proteins, dairy, produce, canned goods, and prepared foods—rather than soybean purees specifically. This mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied in the source system or that soybean purees represent a negligible line item within larger food-supply contracts that are broadly classified under the commodity taxonomy.

School districts, state departments, and state correctional agencies are the primary issuing bodies appearing in the recent opportunities block, with heavy activity concentrated in Georgia (including Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Burke County Public Schools), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home in Quincy), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due April 6, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for a school nutrition food bid (due June 15, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). The consistent absence of soybean-puree line items in these solicitations indicates minimal current market demand for this specific commodity under the code.
