UNSPSC 50626915: Non GMO darfon peas

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 50626915 Non GMO darfon peas is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable legumes and specialty peas procured by state and local institutions for foodservice operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying this product primarily as part of broader food supply contracts for institutional cafeterias, canteens, senior centers, and state-supported living facilities. The code appears in multi-line-item procurement notices alongside canned vegetables, proteins, grains, and food service supplies rather than as a standalone acquisition. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county government (Gwinnett County), and state correctional systems. These are typically institutional foodservice operations serving residents, inmates, students, or senior populations with large-volume, recurring procurement cycles.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables and foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), which encompasses 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with annual usage ranging from 1 to 24 cases per item and delivery required within seven days of order at FOB Destination; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), which demonstrates large-volume procurement patterns common in this code space. Activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois. Most solicitations are issued as IFB or informal written quote (IWQ) notices with response windows of one to two weeks, require three verifiable references and company qualifications documentation, and mandate compliance with E-Verify, debarment certifications, and state-specific procurement terms. Delivery is consistently F.O.B. Destination with inside delivery required, and pricing evaluations typically award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
