UNSPSC 50626869: Non GMO yuca purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO yuca. 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 50626869 Non GMO yuca purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific processed vegetable product, but the recent opportunities on record — primarily school district food service contracts and institutional food supply procurements — do not reflect purchasing of yuca purees or products closely analogous to them. The recent solicitations instead document school districts, state corrections departments, state health agencies, and state-supported living centers procuring broad food service baskets that include fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, prepared foods, and consumable supplies. None of the representative opportunities name yuca purees as a line item or specify demand for this commodity. The code appears to carry minimal procurement relevance in the current state and local market.

The few opportunities tagged under this code span multiple states and issuing bodies — Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri school districts and state agencies — but they describe consolidated food service contracts for mixed-category procurement, not niche vegetable product sourcing. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned tomatoes and tomato paste (posting dates January 26 and February 20, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFBs for supplemental food and consumables statewide; these represent the kind of scale and scope present in the dataset, yet none isolate or emphasize yuca purees as a procurement line. School districts including Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Fairfax County (Virginia), Burke County (Georgia), and Douglas County (Georgia) all solicited grocery and produce contracts between late January and late May 2026, but their specifications and line-item rosters focus on mainstream produce, proteins, and staples rather than specialty or non-GMO vegetable purees. The mismatch between the code's product name and the actual procurement mix suggests either miscoding of opportunities or very limited real-world demand for yuca purees under this code in state and local purchasing.
