UNSPSC 50556308: Canned or jarred non GMO zwolle seedling rhubarb

The variety of non GMO rhubarb known as non GMO zwolle seedling rhubarb 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 50556308 Canned or jarred non GMO Zwolle seedling rhubarb (Commodity) does not see significant recent solicitation activity aligned with its stated scope. State and local governments soliciting under food procurement codes are buying shelf-stable proteins, grains, produce, dairy, frozen entrees, and fresh fruit and vegetables — not specialty preserved rhubarb products. The issuing bodies span school districts, state health and corrections departments, county boards of education, and municipal nutrition centers. Recent opportunities show procurement offices bundling food items into broad categories covering dozens of line items across proteins, frozen goods, fresh produce, and consumables rather than targeting individual preserved-fruit preserves or specialty jarred items.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut based on recent RFPs, ITBs, and IFBs posted between May and October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, vegetables, sauces) due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy across multiple quarters (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants, proposals due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers (210 line items, bid due March 19, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport's bid for commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center (115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products, due June 26, 2026). The code itself shows no recent opportunities explicitly requesting canned or jarred rhubarb products.
