UNSPSC 50613012: Canned or jarred Non GMO santo serrated leaved cabbage

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO santo serrated leaved cabbage 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 50613012 Canned or jarred Non GMO santo serrated leaved cabbage, a Commodity code, sees limited direct recent activity but sits within a broader ecosystem of institutional food procurement by state and local government—primarily school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional facilities sourcing shelf-stable canned vegetables and related consumables for cafeteria and facility operations. The code's nominal scope reflects specialty vegetable products, though recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code or its family emphasize mixed-basket canned vegetable and protein purchases rather than individual cabbage line items in isolation. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county school districts, county boards of commissioners, and individual school nutrition programs, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) appearing as repeat solicitors of institutional food bundles. Work solicited under related codes involves competitive bidding for annual or multi-year supply agreements spanning hundreds of line items—canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, frozen items, condiments, and food service supplies—with firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery, and response deadlines typically 7–30 days from posting.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, where state agencies and school districts have posted multiple procurements since May 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, June 2026, due July 13) seeking food and consumable products with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomatoes IFB S2910000017145 (June 2026, due June 19) for 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case on the prior award; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (Food Bid, Georgia, May 2026, due June 15) covering hundreds of food line items including canned vegetables across four school sites. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ 140229, October 13, 2026, due October 19) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables. All solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, minimum shelf life (typically 12 months), proper labeling, FOB Destination with prepaid freight, and responsive-and-responsible bidder evaluation based on unit pricing. Texas HHSC and ODOC procurements regularly include price-adjustment provisions, sample-submission requirements within days of request, and complaint-resolution timelines of 72–90 hours.
