UNSPSC 50613707: Canned or jarred Non GMO tardo fennel

The variety of Non GMO fennel known as Non GMO tardo 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 50613707 Canned or jarred Non GMO tardo fennel, a Commodity code, does not show meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code — Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (Solicitation S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) — is plainly misclassified; the procurement is for canned tomatoes, not fennel. The remaining nine recent opportunities in the dataset are solicitations by Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, and State of Georgia for shelf-stable food products, prepared foods, consumables, and food service supplies for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services — none of which reference fennel or fennel-specific procurement.

The code reflects a narrow specialty product line that does not align with the broad, recurring food-supply procurement activity occurring across state and local jurisdictions. Business development firms pursuing food-supply and consumables contracts should focus on codes covering general canned vegetables, condiments, prepared foods, and food service supplies, where the recent activity demonstrates material and sustained demand from corrections departments, health and human services agencies, school districts, and county governments across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois.
