UNSPSC 50613101: Canned or jarred Non GMO chinese chives

The variety of Non GMO chives known as Non GMO chinese chives that have 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 50613101 Canned or jarred Non-GMO Chinese chives, a Commodity code, does not appear in the state and local procurement records provided. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for this specific product. State and local governments buy shelf-stable food products under related commodity codes — canned vegetables, prepared proteins, condiments, and staple foods — but the recent activity does not include Chinese chives, whether canned, jarred, or fresh. The opportunities that do appear span institutional food service for state hospitals, state supported living centers, school cafeterias, correctional facilities, and senior services, where procurement offices solicit bulk quantities of commodity-level food items with USDA or FDA compliance, specific packaging and portion requirements, and F.O.B. Destination delivery terms.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon among the recent postings. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental and consumable food products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with response dates in June, August, and October 2026. Georgia school districts — Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools — and Gwinnett County have issued IFBs and informal written quotes for comprehensive food and supply procurement. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes in June 2026. Illinois posted a weekly food order bid in June 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations with a May 2026 response date. No recent activity under the Chinese chives code itself is present in the data; vendors pursuing this Commodity should monitor broader institutional food service and food distribution procurements where specialty produce items may appear as line items within larger consumables bids.
