UNSPSC 50626865: Non GMO water spinach purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO water spinach. 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 50626865 Non GMO water spinach purees is a Commodity code that shows no recent state or local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span fresh produce, canned vegetables, general grocery items, and institutional food service — but none explicitly solicit water spinach purees, GMO or otherwise. The Illinois Veterans Home issued an RFQ for weekly food orders covering proteins, dairy, and prepared foods; Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and living centers statewide; Oregon Department of Corrections bid canned tomatoes and tomato paste; and Georgia school districts issued food bids for produce, eggs, and general grocery supply. The code appears to be a mismatch between the procurement taxonomy and actual issuing-body purchasing intent, or represents a product category rarely or never requested through formal state and local solicitation channels.

Activity under this code, to the extent it exists, concentrates in school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and Muscogee County School District in Georgia) and state institutional food service (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic spread includes Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period value of $1.5 million, and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services across 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026). These broader food procurement vehicles may occasionally include spinach purees or similar specialty produce items as line-item options within larger bids, but the code does not surface as a primary or deliberate procurement focus in current state and local activity.
