UNSPSC 50613705: Canned or jarred Non GMO sirio fennel

The variety of Non GMO fennel known as Non GMO sirio fennel 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 50613705 Canned or jarred non-GMO Sinio fennel, a Commodity code, sees limited direct match in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers specialty canned or jarred fennel products, but the recent opportunities block does not identify solicitations explicitly requesting this item. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are procuring broad food-service consumables—prepared foods, shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, and supplies—under related codes at the Family and Class level, with fennel and similar specialty canned items absorbed into general food procurement RFPs and IFBs rather than solicited as standalone line items. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple school districts across Georgia are the primary issuing bodies visible in the recent activity; these span state agencies managing institutional foodservice and school nutrition programs. No recent opportunities in the block explicitly name non-GMO Sinio fennel as a solicited product.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on the recent solicitation dates (October 2026, August 2026, June 2026, May 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center covering 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies; a related procurement, HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, posted June 11, 2026 with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, indicates sustained demand for institutional food supply across multiple HHSC facilities. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posting June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase reference of $13.75 per case. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia each sought comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 covering hundreds of line items across fresh, frozen, and canned categories. The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local buyers do not appear to solicit canned non-GMO fennel as a distinct procurement line.
