UNSPSC 50612611: Canned or jarred Non GMO walcheren winter 3 cauliflowers

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO walcheren winter 3 cauliflowers 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 50612611 Canned or jarred Non GMO Walcheren winter 3 cauliflowers is a Commodity code that in practice covers a much broader range of shelf-stable food products than the code name suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually purchasing large volumes of mixed canned and jarred vegetables, proteins, fruits, and related food-service consumables to supply institutional food programs—primarily state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, school districts, and county senior services. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses canned tomatoes, frozen vegetables, dried goods, condiments, sauces, and ancillary food-service supplies (containers, napkins, hairnets, straws) alongside the nominal cauliflower product. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services commissions, state correctional departments, school districts, county boards of commissioners, and state education agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a frequent buyer, with multiple fiscal-year food-service procurements posted between May and October 2026; Georgia and Oregon state agencies and county school nutrition programs also appear regularly in the recent record.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional recent solicitation activity from Illinois and scattered county-level procurement across the South. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with delivery required within seven days; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables (due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026, with 5% Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences). School district food bids—Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia)—solicit hundreds of line items across fresh, frozen, and canned categories with firm pricing for initial 30-day periods and six-month adjustment cycles tied to third-party market indices. Contract values in recent solicitations range from estimated annual volumes of $1.5 million (Texas HHSC El Paso facility) to potential three-year exposure of $4.5 million (Texas HHSC supplemental food statewide procurement). Most solicitations require F.O.B. Destination delivery with freight included, three to five vendor references, debarment and E-Verify certifications, and HACCP or food-safety compliance documentation.
