UNSPSC 50626906: Non GMO feltham first pea purees

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO feltham first 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 50626906 Non GMO Feltham First Pea Purees is a Commodity code that encompasses branded and equivalent pea puree products used in state and local food service operations, including school nutrition programs, state institutional feeding, and healthcare facility meal services. The recent opportunities under this code show that state and local governments procure pea purees and similar vegetable products as components of broader food supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia); state agencies (Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and State of Georgia); and county facilities (Muscogee County School District in Georgia and Douglas County School System in Georgia). These entities typically solicit food products through IFBs and RFPs with firm fixed pricing and delivery requirements that integrate vegetable purees into meal service operations.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in the Southeast, with recent solicitations from Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia school districts, though procurement spans Texas, Illinois, and Oregon as well. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior historical value of $1.5 million annually; the State of Georgia's fresh produce and food supply solicitations (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026) covering food supplies and kitchen products; Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food products including fresh and frozen produce across four school locations; and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) covering delivery to 45 schools and distribution centers with firm pricing and Buy American Act compliance. These contracts typically run twelve months (July through June) with renewal options and emphasize USDA compliance, HACCP plans, Buy American provisions where applicable, liability insurance, and strict delivery schedules.
