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 is a Commodity code covering preserved dill products used in institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity specifically tied to this narrow commodity—the code appears in broader food procurement contexts where dill is one line item among hundreds in large food supply contracts. State and local governments purchasing under this code are primarily school districts, state health and human services agencies operating institutional facilities, and state departments managing food service for correctional institutions and supported living centers. Food procurement issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Public Health), and state corrections and institutional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These buyers treat canned and jarred produce items, including dill, as components of comprehensive grocery supply contracts rather than standalone procurements, typically bundling them with proteins, dairy, grains, and fresh produce to meet institutional nutrition standards.

Recent solicitations show food supply activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026; due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products supplying the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical spending of $1.5 million annually, the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T26300CF (posted May 4, 2026; due May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products serving multiple Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouses across five geographic areas covering approximately 382 line items, Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026; due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens, Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027 (posted March 31, 2026; due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items for approximately 6,900 daily lunch participants, and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 (posted January 21, 2026; due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution serving 32,000 meals daily with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. Bidders on these contracts compete on firm fixed pricing, product specification compliance, delivery capability, and vendor performance history, with awards typically made to lowest responsive bidders meeting nutritional and safety standards.
