UNSPSC 50613507: Canned or jarred Non GMO florida market eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO florida market eggplants 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 50613507 Canned or jarred Non GMO florida market eggplants is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable preserved vegetable products sourced from Florida and certified non-GMO. State and local governments procuring under this code buy packaged canned or jarred vegetables for institutional food service operations including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services. Recent opportunities reveal that state and local buyers rarely solicit this specific commodity in isolation; instead, eggplants and similar canned vegetables appear as line items within broader food service RFQs and IFBs that encompass dozens or hundreds of food products purchased together for cafeteria and consumables supply. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span Texas state health and human services agencies, Georgia counties and school districts, and Oregon state corrections departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for food and consumable products to supply state-supported living centers (Lufkin and El Paso facilities among recent postings).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings through October 2026. Representative solicitations include Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026) and IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), both spanning 20 line items of prepared foods and supplies with delivery required within seven days of order receipt on FOB Destination terms; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for senior services (due October 19, 2026); and Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem (due June 19, 2026). School districts including Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools have posted separate food procurement bids encompassing fresh, frozen, and canned vegetables as part of comprehensive school nutrition programs. Most opportunities require firm fixed pricing on FOB Destination basis with all transportation included, submission of three references, compliance with federal Buy American and HACCP standards, debarment certifications, and proof of liability insurance.
