UNSPSC 50626866: Non GMO yamp purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO yampi. 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 50626866 Non GMO yamp purees, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable food products that state and local governments procure for institutional feeding operations—primarily state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent opportunities show the code encompasses prepared and shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, condiments, and canned goods sourced for high-volume food service, typically bundled into larger consumables bids rather than purchased in isolation. State health and human services agencies, school districts, and corrections departments dominate the issuing bodies; Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Georgia school districts appear most frequently in recent postings. The work involves responding to IFB and IWQ notices with firm, fixed unit pricing, meeting USDA grade and labeling standards, delivering FOB Destination within specified timeframes (typically 7–72 hours of order receipt), maintaining multiple years of reference contracts, and complying with E-Verify, debarment certification, and food-safety requirements including HACCP plans and product recall protocols.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Oregon. Texas HHS posted IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with an estimated historical spend of $1.5 million; a companion IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) covers consumables for Lufkin State Supported Living Center. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and sauces (due October 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools in Fitzgerald, Georgia solicited comprehensive food bids including fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and condiments across four school locations (due June 15, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections requested approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with a prior award at $13.75 per case. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic regions and six distribution points (extended due date May 4, 2026) reflects large-scale state procurement. No recent opportunities match the code's nominal scope of "non-GMO yamp purees" specifically; the code shows activity in general institutional food procurement rather than this specialty category.
