UNSPSC 50626921: Non GMO reuzensuiker peas

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO reuzensuiker 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 50626921 Non GMO reuzensuiker peas is a Commodity code that represents frozen or processed pea products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code overwhelmingly document demand for broad-spectrum institutional grocery and food service procurement—fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees—rather than specialty pea products specifically. State and local government buyers under this code tier include school districts (primary), state agencies operating correctional facilities and health and human services institutions, and occasionally county boards of education. The work being solicited encompasses multi-hundred-line-item food service contracts for child nutrition programs, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and correctional facilities, with vendors supplying weekly or monthly deliveries of perishable and shelf-stable goods meeting USDA grades, sodium and fat content limits, and Buy American provisions where applicable. Issuing bodies lean heavily toward school nutrition programs across multiple states, with secondary volume from state health and human services commissions and departments of corrections.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and South-Central regions, with recent solicitations from Georgia (multiple school districts and county boards), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (ODOC), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Missouri (Rockwood School District). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 IFB for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), with an estimated historical spend of $1.5 million annually; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for food products across multiple categories for the 2026-2027 school year (due June 15, 2026); Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services to support 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste (approximately 1,904 cases, due March 9, 2026). Contracts typically run one fiscal year with renewal or extension options; award is made on lowest responsive, responsible bid or best-value basis; and pricing remains firm for the contract term with adjustments permitted only at renewal periods or for documented manufacturer price increases above specified thresholds.
