UNSPSC 50612300: Canned or jarred Non GMO cabbages

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO cabbages 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 50612300 Canned or jarred Non-GMO cabbages, a Class code, does not appear in the recent state and local procurement activity provided. The source contains 20 recent opportunities spanning food service procurement for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and state agencies, but none specifically target canned or jarred cabbage products. Recent solicitations focus on broad food supply categories—fresh produce, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and general grocery items—with canned cabbage absent from the line-item specifications across Illinois Veterans Homes quarterly food orders, Texas health and human services food procurements, Oregon Department of Corrections tomato paste and canned tomato bids, and comprehensive school nutrition programs in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia.

State and local governments procure food products through school districts, correctional departments, health and human services commissions, and state agency food service operations, but the specific commodity of canned or jarred non-GMO cabbage does not surface in the current activity block. The mix of recent opportunities spans state departments (Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia), county school districts (Fairfax County, Virginia; Muscogee County, Georgia; Liberty County, Georgia; Burke County, Georgia; Douglas County, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI, Missouri), and independent school systems (Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), with issuing bodies ranging from state corrections and health agencies to school nutrition programs. However, no recent bid or RFP for canned or jarred cabbage—whether non-GMO or otherwise—appears in the representative solicitations listed. The absence of activity under this specific code suggests either minimal demand for this commodity as a standalone procurement or consistent sourcing through broader general grocery line-item solicitations where cabbage products may be bundled with other canned vegetables but not separately itemized.
