UNSPSC 50626867: Non GMO yautia purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO yautia. 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 50626867 Non GMO yautia purees is a Commodity code that covers specialty root vegetable purees for institutional food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct activity under this specific code. The opportunities posted under this UNSPSC instead reflect broader institutional food procurement — consumables and food service supplies purchased by state health and human services agencies, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and corrections departments. Actual buying under the code appears to be absorbed into larger food and consumables contracts where yautia or similar specialty ingredients may appear as one line item among hundreds. State and local issuing bodies acquiring food for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services centers use consolidated IFBs and RFQs covering prepared foods, frozen proteins, dairy, dry goods, condiments, and food service supplies; specialty purees are rarely solicited standalone.

The issuing-body mix reflects typical institutional food service procurement: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple facilities across the state), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria operations statewide), Oregon Department of Corrections, county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County, Georgia; Burke County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state departments. Texas leads recent activity with multiple five-month procurement cycles for state supported living centers and correctional facilities, while Georgia and Oregon show school and corrections procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (35 line items, quotes due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food products across four schools (hundreds of line items, bids due June 15, 2026). None of the recent solicitations explicitly names yautia purees as a line item; the code shows little targeted recent activity in state and local procurement.
