UNSPSC 50612506: Canned or jarred Non GMO paris market carrots

The variety of Non GMO carrots known as Non GMO paris market 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 50612506 Canned or jarred Non GMO paris market carrots is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable, packaged vegetable products that state and local governments procure as part of larger food-service and institutional nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show this code capturing purchases within comprehensive food and consumables bids rather than as standalone line items; state health and human services agencies, school districts, county nutrition programs, and corrections departments buy canned vegetables alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and food-service supplies to stock institutional kitchens, canteens, and cafeterias. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia school systems, Oregon corrections, and Gwinnett County (Georgia) nutrition services each solicit multi-hundred-line-item food procurements where canned vegetables appear as one category among many. Issuing bodies span state-level health, human services, and corrections agencies; county boards of commissioners and county school systems; and municipal school districts. Texas appears as the dominant repeat buyer, with multiple HHSC solicitations for state-supported living centers and state hospital food service, though Georgia school districts and Oregon corrections also conduct regular institutional food procurements.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), covering NIGP food-service categories with a historical monetary value of $1.5 million for the prior period; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of food items including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services (due October 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for school nutrition products (due June 15, 2026), encompassing canned fruits and vegetables among nearly 400 line items for four schools; and Burke County Public Schools' sealed-bid food procurement (due June 5, 2026) for the 2026-2027 school year across five schools, including canned vegetables and fruits within the scope. The Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for the Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria products (extended to May 4, 2026, with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points) show canned-vegetable procurement anchored in warehouse and institutional distribution. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional solicitations in Illinois and scattered activity across other states purchasing through institutional food-service channels.
