UNSPSC 50613301: Canned or jarred Non GMO land cress

The variety of Non GMO cresses known as Non GMO land cress 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 50613301 Canned or jarred Non GMO land cress is a Commodity code that reflects state and local government food-service procurement for institutional cafeterias, kitchens, and nutrition programs, though recent activity shows the code sees minimal direct solicitation and is often bundled within broader consumables RFPs and IFBs that encompass dozens of food categories without isolating canned land cress as a line item. The issuing bodies soliciting food-service products in the recent opportunities block include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), state departments of corrections (Oregon), county boards and school districts (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia school districts, Burke County Public Schools), and state departments of criminal justice (Texas TDCJ). Texas emerges as a repeat buyer, with multiple IFBs from HHSC for state supported living centers and supplemental food & consumables across state hospitals and facilities statewide.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026), which spans NIGP Class/Item numbers 380–393 and carried a historical monetary value of $1.5 million for the prior period; the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (similar in scope to shelf-stable vegetable procurements); and Ben Hill County Schools' June 2026 IFB for comprehensive food products across multiple categories for school nutrition programs. The HHSC supplemental food & consumables procurement (HHS0016792V2, posted May 2026) encompassed 210 line items and carried a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Most recent solicitations do not isolate canned or jarred land cress as a distinct line item; vendors typically respond to broad consumables RFPs with mixed fresh, frozen, canned, and condiment categories, making direct pursuit of this specific Commodity code difficult in isolation.
