UNSPSC 50626920: Non GMO prince albert peas

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 50626920 Non GMO prince albert peas is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable produce items for institutional food service, though recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a much broader institutional food procurement practice. State and local governments are buying this code primarily to stock institutional canteens, cafeterias, and food-service operations at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and other public agencies. The work spans fresh, frozen, and canned produce; proteins; dairy; condiments; and food-service supplies — all procured on firm, fixed-price contracts with FOB Destination delivery, USDA grade compliance, and seven-day (or faster) fulfillment windows. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (notably Texas HHSC and Texas TDCJ), county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, state departments of corrections (Oregon DOC), and state agencies (Georgia, Illinois). Texas emerges as a standout repeat buyer, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing at least three separate solicitations for food and consumable products serving state-supported living centers and hospitals between May and October 2026.

Recent opportunities span Texas (HHSC and TDCJ cafeteria and consumable food for El Paso and Lufkin state-supported living centers under IFB HHS0017449 and HHS0018082 with response dates in July and October 2026), Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting shelf-stable food items for senior services under IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026; Ben Hill County Schools food bid due June 15, 2026; Burke County Public Schools food bid due June 5, 2026), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections procurement of 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026). Contract values where disclosed range from historical benchmarks of $1.5 million annually (HHSC El Paso) to $4.5 million over three years (HHSC supplemental food and consumables statewide). Most solicitations require three verifiable references, F.O.B. Destination with freight prepaid, compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable, HACCP plans, debarment certifications, and E-Verify verification. Awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with delivery typically required within 7 days of order or 72 hours for weekly orders.
