UNSPSC 50613612: Canned or jarred Non GMO sugarhat endives

The variety of Non GMO endives known as Non GMO sugarhat 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 50613612 Canned or jarred Non-GMO sugarhat endives is a Commodity code that rarely maps to actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities tagged with this code involve broad food service supply contracts that bear no relationship to the specific product named—canned endives are not mentioned in any recent solicitation, and the code appears to be a taxonomy artifact or data-entry error in state procurement systems rather than a purchasing category in active use.

State and local procurement offices use food codes in this family to solicit cafeteria and institutional food supplies, but when this specific Commodity code appears in live opportunities, it does so only as a tagging error. The recent opportunities in the source block are genuine procurements—Texas Health and Human Services Commission purchasing food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections buying canned tomatoes and tomato paste (ITB S2910000017145 and S2910000016089), and school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois issuing RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive grocery and produce supply (Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, and others)—but none of these solicitations reference endives or products matching the Commodity's nominal scope. The code shows activity in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, but that activity is driven by system misclassification rather than genuine demand for the named product. If your firm pursues food service supply contracts with state agencies and school districts, track the parent Family and Class codes (50610000 and 50613000 respectively) instead; this Commodity code signals noise rather than a market signal.
