UNSPSC 50612505: Canned or jarred Non GMO nantes carrots

The variety of Non GMO carrots known as Non GMO nantes carrots 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 50612505 Canned or jarred Non-GMO Nantes carrots (Commodity) describes shelf-stable canned vegetable products that state and local governments procure as part of larger food-service supply chains for institutional feeding operations. Recent solicitations show the code capturing a narrow slice of multi-item food buys rather than standalone carrot procurement — state agencies, county nutrition programs, and school districts acquire canned carrots as one line item among hundreds in comprehensive food bids, typically bundled with other canned vegetables, proteins, and fresh produce under unified purchasing agreements for fiscal-year fulfillment.

The issuing-body mix spans Texas state health agencies (HHSC), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement arm. Geographic activity clusters heavily in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017872 for consumables and non-contract items at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due August 25, 2026), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.), and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026). Canned carrots appear as one of dozens of line items in these solicitations, evaluated on unit pricing and bid compliance rather than as a distinct procurement category. The code shows active but dispersed purchasing activity, with no standout incumbent or repeat vendor identified in the recent notices.
