UNSPSC 50613907: Canned or jarred Non GMO smooth loofah

The variety of Non GMO gourds known as Non GMO smooth loofah 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 50613907, Canned or jarred Non GMO smooth loofah, is a Commodity code that sees negligible recent state and local procurement activity bearing any relation to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for canned or jarred non-GMO loofah products. Instead, the tagged opportunities span food procurement across multiple categories: canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, eggs, and broad grocery supply for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and state agencies. These are commodity foods, not personal-care or non-food items. The mismatch suggests either systematic mis-tagging at the source or that this code has been incorrectly applied to food-category purchasing in state procurement systems.

The opportunities that do appear under this code across the source block reflect substantial activity in school nutrition, state facility food service, and institutional grocery supply, driven by issuing bodies including Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Burke County and Muscogee County in Georgia, Fairfax County in Virginia, Liberty County and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), and Illinois state government. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHSC food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449) due July 13, 2026 for state-supported living center supply at approximately $1.5 million historical volume; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145) due June 19, 2026 for 7,616 cases; and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323) due April 27, 2026 serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens. This code does not reliably signal opportunity in its stated commodity scope and warrants verification against the correct food-supply UNSPSC family if pursuing school, corrections, or state facility food service work.
