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 (Commodity) covers shelf-stable and specialty food products procured by state and local agencies for institutional feeding operations, though recent solicitations tagged with this code show minimal activity specifically requesting non-GMO yuca purees. Instead, state and local buyers under this code tier are acquiring broad consumable food categories — prepared foods, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and food service supplies — for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services centers. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county and city school districts, county governments, and senior services departments across multiple states.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as a repeat buyer of canteen and facility foods for state-supported living centers (HHS0018082, posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026; HHS0017872, posted August 11, 2026, due August 25, 2026; HHS0017449, posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller's office procuring institutional food for the Department of Criminal Justice statewide (IFB 304T-26-300CF, posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools—have posted competitive food bids for multi-school nutrition programs (posted May 19, 2026 and May 11, 2026, respectively), while Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited shelf-stable food items for senior services under an informal written quote (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections requested canned tomatoes in substantial volume (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026). No recent opportunities explicitly specify non-GMO yuca purees as a line item or primary procurement focus; the code shows little relevant recent activity targeted to this commodity specifically.
