UNSPSC 50611919: Canned or jarred Non GMO monogram beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO monogram beets that have 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 50611919 Canned or jarred Non GMO monogram beets is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as one line item within broad food service and school nutrition contracts, rather than as a standalone solicitation category. The recent opportunities shown here reveal no dedicated procurements for this specific item; instead, beets appear as one product among hundreds in comprehensive food-supply bids issued by school districts, state correctional facilities, state health agencies, and state-supported living centers. State and local issuing bodies sourcing under this code include school nutrition programs (serving K–12 districts across multiple states), state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and veterans homes. The scope of work is institutional food service supply—vendors quote or bid on standardized, shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables, including beets, alongside proteins, dairy, produce, dry goods, condiments, and paper supplies, typically for fixed annual contracts with quarterly or annual pricing cycles and firm pricing for 12 months, with some allowance for midterm adjustments when manufacturer prices rise 5 percent or greater.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Missouri) and Texas, with material recent solicitations also from Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, under NIGP and UNSPSC classification), Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive IFB #26271 for food products spanning fresh, frozen, and canned goods for four school locations (due June 15, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 requiring bids on a minimum 76 items for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). Actual beet procurement under this code occurs only when a vendor wins a multi-category food contract and fulfills line items for canned beets on demand; the code itself does not drive standalone solicitations, and vendors pursuing state and local food contracts must be prepared to quote hundreds of line items simultaneously across category.
