UNSPSC 50612713: Canned or jarred Non GMO soup celery d'amsterdam

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO soup celery d'amsterdam 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 50612713 Canned or jarred Non GMO soup celery d'amsterdam is a Commodity code that covers specialty canned or jarred soups and vegetable products. State and local governments procure these items primarily as part of broad food-service supply contracts for institutional food operations — canteens, cafeterias, senior centers, and food-assistance programs. The code shows up in larger commodity solicitations that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items rather than standing alone; recent opportunities name canned vegetables, soups, and shelf-stable proteins as part of mixed consumables bundles for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county human-services operations. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a frequent buyer, with multiple solicitations for state supported living centers and statewide institutional food service. Georgia school districts and Gwinnett County also show recent activity in the category.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two recent IFBs for consumables and food products at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026, and HHS0017872, due August 25, 2026), plus a broader statewide supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of four million five hundred thousand dollars over three years). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice Statewide Procurement Division solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026). In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately one thousand sixty-two cases of shelf-stable food items including canned soups and vegetables (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026), and Burke County and Ben Hill County Schools each issued comprehensive nutrition-program food bids covering hundreds of line items. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a separate canned-tomato procurement (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) and an unspecified potato variety solicitation (S2910000017460, due July 27, 2026). This code sees steady activity but as a component of much larger mixed-consumables or institutional food-service contracts; standalone demand for non-GMO specialty soups is not evident in recent postings.
