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 is a Commodity code that in practice maps to state and local procurement of general food products and supplies for institutional feeding operations—school nutrition programs, state facility food service, and correctional institutions—rather than specialty puree products. Recent opportunities under this code number span school district grocery and produce procurements, state health and human services food service contracts, and corrections department food supply, revealing a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being purchased. State and local governments use this code to solicit bids on food staples including proteins, dairy, frozen and fresh produce, condiments, and consumable kitchen supplies delivered to multiple school sites, state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional facilities on annual or multi-year contracts.

The issuing-body mix is heavily weighted toward school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), with secondary procurement activity from state agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with material activity in Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), with prior similar contract value of $1.5 million annually; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026); Burke County Public Schools' solicitation for school nutrition food procurement across five schools (due June 5, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts with estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One (due March 4, 2026). School districts typically require firm fixed pricing over the contract period with quarterly or semiannual price adjustments tied to USDA indices or the Consumer Price Index, minimum insurance coverage of $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence, Buy American Act compliance, and HACCP plan implementation; state agencies similarly specify strict food safety standards, weekly or on-call delivery schedules to multiple locations, and demand-usage contract structures where estimated quantities serve as guidelines rather than guarantees.
