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, a Commodity code, covers prepared vegetable purees and processed legume products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — specifically, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services operations. The recent opportunities in this code's footprint show state and local buyers purchasing comprehensive institutional food supplies where pea purees and similar prepared vegetables appear as line items within larger multi-category food procurement. Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and multiple other school districts and state agencies across the South and Midwest are actively soliciting food products including vegetables and legumes for meal service. The issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs (primary), state health and human services facilities for institutionalized populations (secondary), and state correctional departments (tertiary). Larger school districts such as Fairfax County and Douglas County School System in Georgia, along with statewide facilities networks in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, represent the most active recent buyers.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Upper Midwest and South — Missouri, Illinois, Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Virginia show the densest recent posting activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP food-service categories 380, 385, 390, and 393 with a prior-period value of $1.5 million); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food categories including fresh and frozen produce, vegetables, and prepared items for four school locations (due June 15, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract IFB 2000004323 covering 45 schools and distribution centers with weekly deliveries (due April 27, 2026); and Rockwood R-VI School District's dual procurements for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products covering over 900 line items for the 2026-27 school year (due April 29, 2026). These solicitations use IFB and RFP notice types with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, USDA grade and nutritional standards, and multi-year renewals as standard terms. The code shows consistent activity but pea purees themselves do not appear prominently named in recent postings — the category is a narrow commodity within much broader institutional food service procurement, making targeted pursuit dependent on vendor specialization and ability to serve as a line-item supplier within large school-district and state-facility food contracts.
