UNSPSC 50626859: Non GMO tendergreen purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO tendergreen. 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 50626859 Non GMO tendergreen purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service operations — including schools, state hospitals, state supported living centers, county senior services programs, and correctional facilities. The recent opportunities tagged to this code, however, show minimal direct procurement of tendergreen purees specifically; instead, the activity reflects broader institutional food purchasing that encompasses canned vegetables, fresh produce, frozen items, proteins, dairy, and consumable food service supplies. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state procurement offices on behalf of multiple agencies. School nutrition programs and state institutional food service represent the dominant buyer categories, with Texas agencies appearing as repeat solicitors across multiple recent opportunities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the heaviest recent volume from Texas state agencies. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with seven-day delivery required; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (quotes due October 19, 2026) delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026) meeting USDA Grade B or better standards and delivered to Salem, Oregon. School districts in Georgia, including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools, are actively procuring comprehensive food packages for nutrition programs covering multiple schools across the 2026–2027 academic year with sealed bid processes. The code shows meaningful recent activity but does not capture dedicated tendergreen puree procurement; opportunities instead reflect general institutional bulk food purchasing where purees would be one line item among hundreds.
