UNSPSC 50626903: Non GMO daisy pea purees

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO daisy 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 50626903 Non GMO daisy pea purees, a Commodity code, names a narrow food ingredient that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The source contains no recent solicitations for non-GMO daisy pea purees specifically. The opportunities tagged to this code span broad food service procurement — prepared foods, food service supplies, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, grains, canned goods, and kitchen consumables — all sourced by state health and human services agencies, county nutrition programs, and school districts for cafeterias, dining facilities, and kitchen operations. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity name and the wide range of food items being purchased suggests the code is either overtagged or misapplied in practice by these issuing bodies.

Solicitations appear most active in Texas and Georgia, with recent bids from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for consumable foods at state supported living centers and state hospitals (IFB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026, and IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso facility, due July 13, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (IFB 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia (IFB PE55037NONST2027000000007, due June 5, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). Additional activity appears in Oregon (canned tomatoes procurement, Oregon Department of Corrections, due June 19, 2026) and Illinois (quarterly food order, due June 26, 2026). Responses typically require three business references, evidence of liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1 million per occurrence, HACCP compliance, debarment certification, and firm fixed pricing on a unit basis with delivery F.O.B.
