UNSPSC 50626904: Non GMO darfon pea purees

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO darfon 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 50626904 Non GMO darfon pea purees (Commodity) addresses a narrow product line, but the recent opportunities block shows no purchases of darfon pea purees or non-GMO peas at all. Instead, the posted solicitations span a far broader scope of food and consumable products for state institutions—fresh and frozen proteins, produce, dairy, canned goods, dry staples, condiments, bread, and food service supplies—sourced by state health agencies, state correctional systems, school districts, and county social services departments. The code appears to be a mismatch with actual procurement activity; UNSPSC 50626904 shows little relevant recent state and local contracting momentum.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple large state supported living center and hospital supply contracts), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria food for prisons), Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the State of Georgia. Geographic concentration is visible in Texas and Georgia, with activity also in Oregon and Georgia; the Texas solicitations alone represent half the opportunities listed, with values in the $1.5 million to $4.5 million range over multi-year terms. Representative solicitations include HHS0017872 (Texas HHS Commission requesting bids for FY27 consumables for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, IFB due August 25, 2026, with 20 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies), IFB 304T-26-300CF (Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division on behalf of TDCJ, due May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for prison warehouse distribution), and S2910000017145 (Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 with 5% Oregon-vendor preference).
