UNSPSC 50626902: Non GMO cavalier pea purees

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO cavalier peas. 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 50626902 Non GMO cavalier pea purees is a Commodity code that nominally names a single pea product, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a much broader food-procurement scope. The code does not appear in active use for pea purees specifically; instead, the recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing large-scale, multi-category food and consumable supplies for institutional food service — including fresh, frozen, canned, and dry proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, and food service supplies for state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county nutrition programs (Gwinnett County), and state-level purchasing on behalf of multiple agencies. Solicitations are structured as IFBs and informal written quotes with sealed-bid competitions, typically requiring firm fixed pricing, detailed product specifications, USDA grade compliance, delivery within three to thirty days of order, and references or demonstrated vendor performance history.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for state supported living centers and hospitals — HHS0018082 (Lufkin facility, October 23, 2026 response date, 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies), HHS0017872 (Lufkin FY27 consumables, August 25, 2026 response date, 20 line items), and HHS0017449 (El Paso facility, July 13, 2026 response date, prior contract value $1.5 million) — along with HHS0016792v2 (statewide supplemental food for state hospitals and centers, 210 line items, maximum potential $4.5 million over three years). Georgia school districts have posted food bids with substantial line-item counts: Burke County Public Schools (nearly 400 items, June 5, 2026 response date) and Ben Hill County Schools (hundreds of items including fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and supplies, June 15, 2026 response date). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases across 35 line items of shelf-stable products (October 19, 2026 response date), and the Oregon Department of Corrections issued a canned-tomatoes IFB for approximately 7,616 cases (June 19, 2026 response date, prior contract at $13.75 per case). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 cafeteria-food line items across five warehouse regions (May 4, 2026 response date, two optional renewal periods). The code shows no relevant recent activity for non-GMO cavalier pea purees as a standalone product.
