UNSPSC 50612100: Canned or jarred Non GMO brussel sprouts

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO brussel sprouts 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 50612100 Canned or jarred Non GMO brussels sprouts is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this product as one line item among hundreds in broad food service solicitations for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers. Recent solicitations under this code show brussels sprouts appearing as a single canned vegetable offering within much larger grocery or produce buys, rarely as a standalone procurement; the code captures a narrow product line that state and local food service operations source as part of general institutional meal planning rather than as a dedicated purchase category. Solicitation activity centers on school nutrition programs and state institutional food services (correctional facilities, health and human services facilities) that bundle canned vegetables across dozens or hundreds of line items into quarterly or annual fixed-price contracts.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumables to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with pricing due July 13, 2026; the Ben Hill County Schools School Nutrition Program issued IFB #26271 in May 2026 for food products and related items across multiple categories with bids due June 15, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division solicited canned tomatoes (a comparable canned vegetable product under UNSPSC 50612000) with bids due June 19, 2026 and June 2026 pricing showing $13.75 per case from the incumbent. Because canned non-GMO brussels sprouts appear as a line item within much larger composite food buys rather than standalone solicitations, pursuit requires vendor participation in full-spectrum food service distribution—responding to multi-hundred-line-item RFPs or IFBs where this commodity represents a fractional piece of the total contract value, typically with firm fixed annual pricing and renewal options, Buy American compliance requirements, and HACCP or food safety certifications across all supplied items.
