UNSPSC 50612106: Canned or jarred Non GMO rubine brussel sprouts

The variety of Non GMO brussel sprouts known as Non GMO rubine 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 50612106 Canned or jarred Non GMO rubine brussel sprouts is a Commodity code that names a specific produce item, but state and local opportunities tagged with this code show little activity aligned to the code's nominal scope. The recent posting record includes one solicitation explicitly requesting canned tomatoes (Oregon Department of Corrections, IFB S2910000017145, June 2026) and the remainder spanning broad food service procurement by institutional buyers—state health and human services agencies, county and school district nutrition programs, and state prison systems—sourcing dozens or hundreds of line items across multiple food categories (proteins, dairy, frozen vegetables, canned fruits, condiments, bakery items, kitchen supplies). The institutional food service buyers running these solicitations are state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), county boards of commissioners and schools districts (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and state prison and supported living center systems. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple IFBs for consumables and food products serving state supported living centers across fiscal year cycles.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 2026, 210 line items including fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products, prior-period value $1.5 million, response deadline July 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables, proteins, and sauces for community services (posted October 2026, response due October 19, 2026); Burke County Public Schools IFB for school nutrition food across nearly 400 line items (posted May 2026, response due June 2026); and Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (posted June 2026, previous purchase at $13.75 per case, 5% preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-resident bidders). The code itself does not map closely to the work actually being solicited—no recent opportunity explicitly requests Non GMO rubine brussel sprouts—suggesting this Commodity code sees minimal direct procurement activity in state and local markets.
