UNSPSC 50612002: Canned or jarred Non GMO broccoli romanesco

The variety of Non GMO broccoli known as Non GMO broccoli romanesco 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 50612002 Canned or jarred Non GMO broccoli romanesco is a Commodity code that covers packaged broccoli romanesco products, though state and local procurement activity under this specific code appears minimal—most recent opportunities soliciting canned vegetables are tagged with broader family-level codes covering general food supply rather than this narrowly specified commodity. The code shows little recent activity directly linked to Non GMO broccoli romanesco specifically, suggesting either low demand for this particular product variant or vendor tagging misalignment.

State and local buyers pursuing canned vegetables and packaged produce are primarily school districts, state corrections departments, and state health and human services agencies procuring comprehensive food supplies under broader IFB and RFP notices. Recent opportunities from the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC), Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and school nutrition programs in Georgia and Missouri demonstrate that jurisdictions are sourcing canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen produce, and mixed food service products through consolidated buys rather than line-item commodity-specific solicitations. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri, with school districts in the Southeast and state agencies across the West posting regular food procurement notices. A representative recent opportunity—ODOC's canned tomato solicitation (S2910000016089, closed February 9, 2026)—sought approximately 7,616 cases under ITB, awarding to the lowest responsive bidder on FOB Destination pricing; Texas HHSC's supplemental food procurement (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) encompassed 210 line items of mixed food and consumables under IFB with firm fixed unit rates and cost-plus-index pricing mechanisms. None of the recent notices specifically name Non GMO broccoli romanesco as a line item, indicating this code tier may serve administrative taxonomy purposes without corresponding active procurement volume.
