UNSPSC 50614114: Canned or jarred Non GMO mint

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO mint 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 50614114 Canned or jarred Non GMO mint (Commodity) sees activity in state and local food service procurement, though the recent opportunity records reflect broader food and consumable product buys rather than focused demand for this specific item. State and local governments use this code when sourcing prepared food inventories for institutional food service operations — cafeterias, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span state departments (health and human services commissions, departments of criminal justice, comptroller offices), county and city school districts, and special-purpose entities; Texas agencies—the Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice, and Comptroller of Public Accounts—appear repeatedly as significant procurers of food service products more broadly. Most recent solicitations are RFPs or IFBs for comprehensive grocery or food supply contracts covering dozens or hundreds of line items, with the specific commodity (canned or jarred non-GMO mint) nested within much larger category buys rather than solicited as a standalone product.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two supplemental food and consumables IFBs (HHS0016792 in February 2026 and HHS0017449 in June 2026) covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with the second carrying a historical annual value of $1.5 million and a maximum potential three-year value of $4.5 million; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026) across approximately 382 line items for six distribution points. Fairfax County Public Schools issued a Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for weekly deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Rockwood School District in Missouri solicited grocery items (due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items to serve approximately 7,800 daily meal participants. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued separate RFPs for fresh produce and eggs (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, approximately $5.5 million annually across two regions) and food supply and distribution services (SN 26-003, due February 18, 2026, approximately $9 million annually for 32,000 daily meals). The code shows no recent standalone procurement for canned or jarred non-GMO mint; the item appears likely to be a line item within master grocery or supplemental food contracts rather than a discrete procurement opportunity.
