UNSPSC 50613603: Canned or jarred Non GMO catalogna di galatina endives

The variety of Non GMO endives known as Non GMO catalogna di galatina endives 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 50613603, Canned or jarred Non GMO catalogna di galatina endives (Commodity), does not align with state and local procurement activity actually being solicited under this code. The recent opportunities block contains no canned endive specifications; instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food-service categories for institutional dining including canned vegetables, canned proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, condiments, and food-service supplies for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state agencies across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon.

The mismatch between the code's nominal product (specialized canned endives) and the opportunities posted under it signals that this Commodity code sees little if any relevant recent state and local activity. The nine opportunities in the block describe cafeteria and food-service procurement at scale — the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumables with a $4.5 million potential value over three years (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026); Burke County Schools and Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) each sought comprehensive food bids with hundreds of line items for school nutrition programs (due June 5 and June 15, 2026 respectively); and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026). Issuing bodies are predominantly state departments, state-supported facilities, school districts, and county boards. Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The code does not reflect a market for the specific specialty product named in its title.
