UNSPSC 50614005: Canned or jarred Non GMO sugar snap peas

The variety of Non GMO green peas known as Non GMO sugar snap peas 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 50614005 Canned or jarred non-GMO sugar snap peas, a Commodity code, does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity in the block provided. The listed opportunities span fresh produce, canned tomatoes and tomato paste, comprehensive grocery and food service supply contracts, and weekly food orders across multiple issuing bodies, but none explicitly solicit canned or jarred non-GMO sugar snap peas by name or specification.

State and local jurisdictions do procure canned vegetables under this code tier, as evidenced by the canned tomato solicitations from the Oregon Department of Corrections (February and June 2026 ITBs for approximately 7,616 and 1,904 cases respectively) and broader food service contracts that include canned goods as line items. School districts dominate recent food service activity, with contracts issued by Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Muscogee County School District (Georgia). State health and human services agencies also procure food supplies in volume: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two separate IFBs (HHS0016792 and HHS0017449) for supplemental and general food and consumable products serving state hospitals and state supported living centers. The Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs issued quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy. These jurisdictions treat canned vegetables and prepared foods as commodity categories within larger food service supply contracts, typically bundled alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared items rather than procured in isolation.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Midwest, with Georgia school districts accounting for at least six recent opportunities and Texas state health agencies two separate solicitations; Oregon corrections (canned tomatoes) and Virginia school nutrition (Fairfax County) and Missouri school nutrition (Rockwood) add additional regional presence. The canned tomato ITBs from Oregon Department of Corrections in June 2026 (S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases at prior pricing of $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest) and February 2026 (S2910000015837, due February 9, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases) represent the closest recent precedent for canned vegetable procurement under this code tier; however, they specify whole, diced, sliced, stewed, or halved tomato, not snap peas. School district food service RFPs from Ben Hill County Schools (PE61000NONST2027000000006, June 15, 2026, IFB #26271) and Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, April 27, 2026) include canned goods as line items but do not isolate snap peas as a distinct commodity line. The code shows modest recent activity for canned vegetables in general but no visible demand signal specific to canned or jarred non-GMO sugar snap peas.
