UNSPSC 50626863: Non GMO udo purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO udo. 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 50626863 Non GMO udo purees is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable and specialty food products for institutional food service operations, including canteen, cafeteria, and campus dining programs. The recent solicitations tagged to this code show no procurement of udo purees or udo-related products; instead, they reflect bulk purchases of conventional prepared foods, proteins, dairy, canned goods, fresh and frozen produce, condiments, and food service supplies for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The actual buying pattern under this code encompasses proteins (beef brisket, chicken leg quarters, pollock portions), frozen specialty items (burritos, corn dogs), dairy (cheese, margarine), grains (tortillas, pasta, rice), canned vegetables and fruits, fresh produce, beverages, baking supplies, and consumable service items (containers, napkins, hairnets, straws, foil). Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, school districts, county boards of commissioners, and senior services programs. The work solicited is typically high-volume commodity procurement with firm, fixed unit pricing, FOB Destination delivery within 7 to 72 hours, brand-specific or approved-equivalent specifications, and compliance with USDA grades, FDA standards, Buy American requirements, and HACCP protocols.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for state supported living center food supplies, including HHS0017449 for El Paso (posted June 11, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million) and HHS0018082 for Lufkin (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026), both seeking prepared foods and food service consumables.

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026).
