UNSPSC 50614107: Canned or jarred Non GMO cipolinos

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO cipolinos 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 50614107 Canned or jarred Non-GMO cipolinos is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity tagged under it in recent state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities posted under this code are not for cipolini onions or any related product; instead, they span broad food service procurement — grocery items, fresh produce, eggs, cafeteria food products, and general food supply and distribution services for public institutions including schools, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and correctional facilities. The code's nominal scope (a specific preserved vegetable product) bears no meaningful relationship to the work state and local agencies are actually buying. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Douglas County in Georgia), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois, Georgia), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia). The mix reflects the routine institutional food-service demand across K–12 education, corrections, and health services.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with one Illinois posting. The most recent representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB due April 27, 2026, covering food product supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with firm, fixed pricing and a July 1, 2026 start; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior twelve-month period and firm unit-rate pricing; the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice across five geographic areas with approximately 382 line items, due May 4, 2026 after an addendum extension; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items bid for 2026–2027 due April 29, 2026 via NUTRIKIDS electronic submission, covering over 900 line items with firm pricing for the contract period. The code shows active procurement volume but no alignment with its stated commodity definition.
