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-tier code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily purchasing shelf-stable canned vegetables for institutional food service — specifically canned tomatoes, canned vegetables generally, and related packaged produce items — as part of broader food and consumables procurement for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and county social services. The recent opportunities show that while the code nominally specifies beets, actual state and local solicitations under related produce commodity codes emphasize canned vegetables of many varieties (tomatoes, mixed vegetables, beans) ordered in cases for kitchen inventory, typically as line items within larger food service contracts rather than as standalone purchases. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state correctional departments, county school districts, and county departments of community services. The mix reflects institutional food service across health, corrections, and education sectors, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections appearing as repeat buyers in the recent activity.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods (including canned and prepared vegetables) at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center due October 23, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with delivery to Salem; Gwinnett County (Georgia) informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables due October 19, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) IFB for comprehensive school nutrition food procurement including canned fruits and vegetables due June 15, 2026. All solicitations emphasize F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight prepaid, USDA Grade B or better compliance, minimum 12-month shelf life at delivery, and delivery within 7 to 30 days of order receipt. Institutions typically require three verifiable references, proof of liability insurance, and compliance with E-Verify and debarment certifications.
