UNSPSC 50612603: Canned or jarred Non GMO autumn giant 3 cauliflowers

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO autumn giant 3 cauliflowers 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 50612603 Canned or jarred Non GMO autumn giant 3 cauliflowers is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent activity directly matching this narrow product specification. State and local procurement under this code encompasses shelf-stable food products, including canned and jarred vegetables, that supply institutional food service operations — primarily state health and human services facilities, state correctional institutions, school districts, and county senior services programs. The recent solicitations tagged to this code show a pattern of broad food procurement efforts that encompass canned vegetables as one line item among dozens of other food and consumable categories, rather than standalone cauliflower purchases. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of health and human services (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state facilities), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County, Georgia), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia). These jurisdictions typically combine fresh, frozen, canned, and jarred produce into comprehensive food-service contracts rather than single-product line items.

Recent opportunities show activity across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and food products serving state supported living centers, with bids due in June and August 2026 and estimated annual quantities in the range of 1–24 cases per item; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids with hundreds of line items across multiple food categories, including canned vegetables, due in May and June 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items, including canned vegetables, for the Department of Community Services due October 19, 2026. The actual procurement activity under this code shows canned vegetables as a component within larger institutional food-service contracts; standalone canned cauliflower solicitations are not evident in the recent opportunity record.
