UNSPSC 50554801: Canned or jarred non GMO bog myrtle

The variety of non GMO bayberry known as non GMO bog myrtle that has been canned or jarred for preservation. 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 50554801 Canned or jarred non-GMO bog myrtle, a Commodity code, has no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The thirteen opportunities posted between February and July 2026 under this code taxonomy span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food service categories for state institutions, school districts, and correctional facilities—none of which align with bog myrtle procurement. The code's nominal scope does not match what state and local governments are actually buying in the available record; jurisdictions are soliciting conventional food staples and commodity items for nutrition programs, food service operations, and institutional kitchens, not specialty or non-GMO bog myrtle products.

The issuing bodies in this dataset comprise school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Austin ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and special-purpose purchasing entities such as the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning multiple Georgia districts. The representative opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections canned applesauce under ITB S-29100-00017453 with a July 31, 2026 response date; Austin Independent School District dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 due July 16, 2026; and Douglas County School System fresh produce and eggs for a 30-district GEC cooperative under RFP SN 26-004 with March 4, 2026 due date and an estimated $5.5 million annual expenditure. Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut, with broader representation across other states. No state and local government appears to be procuring bog myrtle under this code.
