UNSPSC 50614103: Canned or jarred Non GMO borage

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO borage 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 50614103 Canned or jarred Non GMO borage is a Commodity code that does not match the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under recent solicitations tagged with this code. The source records show no recent opportunities for canned or jarred borage products; instead, the tagged solicitations span broad food procurement for schools, state facilities, and correctional institutions—including fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, condiments, and consumable supplies. The nominal code scope and the actual buying activity are misaligned, indicating minimal relevant activity under this specific commodity classification.

The recent opportunities bearing this code are anchored in Texas (the Health and Human Services Commission procuring food and consumables for state supported living centers and hospitals; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procuring cafeteria products across five geographic regions), Georgia (Douglas County School System soliciting fresh produce and eggs through a cooperative buying vehicle, and the State of Georgia soliciting food, supplies, and other kitchen products), Missouri (Rockwood School District procuring over 900 line items of grocery products for child nutrition services), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools soliciting master grocery supply), and Illinois (the State of Illinois procuring weekly food orders for quarterly fulfillment). The issuing bodies reflect a mix of state health and corrections agencies, large school districts, and state purchasing offices. The representative opportunities range from $1.5 million to $9 million in historical or estimated annual spending, with response dates spanning from February through June 2026. One procurement (water infrastructure services under IW240463 from the Texas General Land Office) appears unrelated to food products and reflects a tagging error. The code itself shows no meaningful recent activity aligned to canned or jarred borage procurement; firms pursuing this commodity should verify current demand separately rather than relying on these broader food-supply solicitations as representative of the code's market.
