UNSPSC 50626909: Non GMO prince albert pea purees

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO prince albert 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 50626909 Non GMO prince albert pea purees (Commodity) does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code. Recent opportunities posted under the code span shelf-stable and prepared food products for institutional cafeteria, food service, and nutrition programs—including proteins, frozen vegetables, canned goods, dairy, condiments, and disposable food service supplies—but do not reference pea purees or non-GMO specification as a primary procurement driver. The code appears to be misapplied to broader food-service commodity buys. Issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services, state correctional agencies, school districts, and county nutrition programs. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and state of Texas agencies are the most active recent issuers, with school districts in Georgia and state correctional authorities also soliciting. The work involves sourcing hundreds of line items to supply state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs, with firm fixed pricing, USDA grade compliance, seven-day delivery windows, and references or performance history verification as standard vendor requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs in 2026 for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, due March 19 with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 13), and consumables for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (HHS0018082, due October 23). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued an IFB for cafeteria food products serving Department of Criminal Justice warehouses across five geographic areas (304T26300CF, extended to May 4). In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19), Ben Hill County Schools sought sealed bids for food products and related items across multiple categories (IFB #26271, due June 15), and Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro solicited comprehensive grocery procurement for five schools (PE55037NONST2027000000007, due June 5). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19 with 5 percent Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated-goods preferences). Illinois and unspecified Oregon agencies also posted food-procurement notices.
