UNSPSC 50612800: Canned or jarred Non GMO chards

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO chards 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 50612800 Canned or jarred Non GMO chards, a Class code, is seeing minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—canned or jarred non-GMO chard products—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this taxonomy. The source documents reflect solicitations for broad food and consumable products serving schools, corrections facilities, and health and human services institutions, but none specifically name canned or jarred chards or non-GMO chard procurement as line items or scope elements.

The few recent opportunities tagged to this code are actually general food supply contracts spanning hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods. The State of Illinois posted a quarterly food order RFQ in June 2026 (due June 26) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables in June 2026 (due July 13), but neither specifies cchard procurement. Similarly, school districts including Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, and Douglas County in Georgia posted comprehensive food service solicitations covering hundreds of line items—fresh produce, meats, dairy, condiments, grains—yet none isolates canned or jarred chard products as distinct commodities. The code shows no concentration among issuing bodies; activity spans state departments, school districts, and health-service agencies across Illinois, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. The mismatch between the code's specific scope and the broad, multi-category food solicitations actually being issued suggests either a taxonomic tagging error or that canned or jarred non-GMO chards, if procured at all, represent a negligible line item within larger food packages and do not drive standalone procurement activity at the state and local level.
