UNSPSC 50614109: Canned or jarred Non GMO dill

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO dill 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 50614109 Canned or jarred Non GMO dill, a Commodity code, represents shelf-stable food products that state and local governments procure for food service operations at state-supported living centers, county social services departments, correctional facilities, and other institutional meal programs. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying bulk quantities of preserved vegetables, proteins, dairy items, canned goods, and related food service staples through competitive bid processes. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, county purchasing offices, state correctional agencies, and state support services divisions — primarily institutional food service operations serving residents, patients, or detainees rather than retail or commercial food distribution.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, where state health and human services commissions and county governments have issued multiple food service IFBs in recent months. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide (bid response deadline March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for the Department of Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement for cafeteria food products across five geographic TDCJ warehouse areas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended response deadline May 4, 2026). Contracts typically run one year with renewal or extension options, require firm fixed pricing with adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index or manufacturer price lists, mandate FOB destination delivery with specific time windows and temperature compliance, and award to best value rather than lowest price alone.
