UNSPSC 50615202: Canned or jarred Non GMO alisa craig onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO alisa craig onions 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 50615202 Canned or jarred non-GMO alisa craig onions is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables, though state and local procurement data shows only limited recent activity directly under this specific SKU. When governments do procure canned vegetables, they typically source them as part of broader food-supply contracts for institutional food service — state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and county senior services. The scope of work spans consumable foods for on-site kitchen operations, with canned goods priced and delivered on F.O.B. Destination terms and subject to USDA grading, labeling, shelf-life, and sodium-content standards. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and correctional systems (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Bids are solicited via IFB and IWQ notices, with response cycles typically two to four weeks and delivery requirements ranging from 72 hours to 30 days after order receipt.
