UNSPSC 50613604: Canned or jarred Non GMO chioggia endives

The variety of Non GMO endives known as Non GMO chioggia 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 50613604, Canned or jarred Non GMO chioggia endives (Commodity), does not show decision-relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code names a specific vegetable product—non-GMO chioggia endives in canned or jarred form—yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for that item or close equivalents. The opportunities posted between May and October 2026 span canned tomatoes, potatoes, mixed shelf-stable foods for institutional canteens and school nutrition programs, and broad consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers, but none target chioggia endives specifically. One Oregon Department of Corrections IFB (June 2026) solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for institutional food and consumables across state supported living centers, but chioggia endives do not appear in any of the posted scope summaries.

State and local buyers under related food-commodity codes are predominantly state health and human services agencies, county school districts, and state corrections departments across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, ordering through IFB and IWQ notice types with response windows of 7 to 30 days. The institutional food market is active and recurring—Texas HHS alone posted five separate food and consumables IFBs between May and October 2026—but the chioggia endive Commodity code itself does not surface in the available recent records. If pursuing this code, conduct targeted outreach to state institutional foodservice buyers to test demand; the broader canned-vegetable and institutional-food space is populated, but the specific product may see limited or episodic procurement.
