UNSPSC 50614120: Canned or jarred Non GMO rosemary

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO rosemary 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 50614120 Canned or jarred Non GMO rosemary is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable herb and seasoning products. In practice, state and local governments use this code to procure bulk canned and jarred food ingredients for institutional food service operations at correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, senior services programs, and school or county cafeteria systems. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, departments of criminal justice, county boards of commissioners, and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Work solicited under the code ranges from single-item quotes for specific branded rosemary products to large multi-item food service contracts that include rosemary alongside dozens of other canned proteins, vegetables, sauces, soups, and condiments.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for food and consumable products across state supported living centers (HHS0017798, HHS0017799, HHS0017449, HHS0016792V2) with response deadlines in August and July 2026 and historical annual values ranging from $158,000 to $1.5 million; the Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products (304T-26-300CF) across five geographic warehouse areas with a response deadline of May 4, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins with responses due October 19, 2026. The State of Illinois solicited weekly food orders for a state facility (27497DVAQUINCB52821) with a June 26, 2026 response deadline. Pricing across these solicitations is typically firm and fixed unit cost on mandatory exhibit sheets, with delivery F.O.B. destination, compliance with USDA grade standards where applicable, and awards made on best value rather than lowest price alone.
