UNSPSC 50612702: Canned or jarred Non GMO celeriac

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO celeriac 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 50612702 Canned or jarred Non GMO celeriac, a Commodity code, sees little recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent-opportunities block contains thirteen solicitations posted between January and June 2026, yet none of them directly solicit canned or jarred celeriac or other non-GMO preserved vegetables matching the code's nominal scope. The postings instead address broader food service procurement across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services operations—solicitations for weekly food orders, fresh produce, canned tomatoes, school grocery supplies, and cafeteria food products that fall under related but distinct UNSPSC categories (such as canned tomatoes, fresh produce, and general groceries). The code shows no traceable recent awards or active vendor relationships in the source material.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), county and independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs and institutional food service representing the dominant buyer segment. Absent evidence that state and local procurement offices are currently sourcing canned or jarred non-GMO celeriac as a standalone line item or category, the code warrants a watch posture rather than active pursuit—the code's scope does not align with what these agencies are buying today.
