UNSPSC 50612105: Canned or jarred Non GMO rampart brussel sprouts

The variety of Non GMO brussel sprouts known as Non GMO rampart brussel sprouts 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 50612105 Canned or jarred Non GMO rampart brussel sprouts, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity in the available recent opportunities. The nominations under this code span food service provisioning for state facilities, school nutrition programs, and correctional institutions, but the opportunities consistently show demand for broad shelf-stable and specialty food categories — frozen vegetables, canned proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and food service consumables — rather than brussels sprouts specifically. The issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state correctional departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state-level agencies managing institutional food service. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer across multiple recent solicitations for state supported living centers and hospitals.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables and foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables for the Department of Community Services (response due October 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition supplies across four schools (response due June 15, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026). The code shows little activity specifically aligned with non-GMO brussels sprouts, and a mismatch exists between the code's nominal scope and the institutional food provisioning actually being solicited under it.
