UNSPSC 50612301: Canned or jarred Non GMO black cabbages

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO black cabbage 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 50612301 Canned or jarred Non GMO black cabbages, a Commodity code, sees limited recent activity in state and local procurement, with the available opportunities showing minimal direct alignment to the code's specific scope. State and local food service buyers—primarily school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies—do solicit canned and jarred vegetable products under related commodity codes, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting canned or jarred black cabbages, whether GMO or Non GMO. The code's nominal scope targets preserved brassica vegetables, but the posted opportunities instead reflect broader food procurement across canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, proteins, and miscellaneous grocery line items.

The recent state and local opportunities are dominated by school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County school districts in Missouri and Georgia respectively, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia), correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic concentration appears strongest in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes at approximately $13.75 per case (due June 19, 2026). No posted opportunity in the recent block explicitly names canned or jarred black cabbages or non-GMO vegetable specifications as line items, suggesting the code may see procurement activity under broader commodity aggregations rather than as a standalone commodity line.
