UNSPSC 50615300: Canned or jarred Non GMO peanuts

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO peanuts 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 50615300 Canned or jarred non-GMO peanuts, a Class code, encompasses shelf-stable peanut products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations—cafeteria supply, inmate feeding, senior center nutrition programs, and state facility canteen operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission, Georgia, Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia). State agencies managing state supported living centers and state hospitals represent the highest-volume repeat buyers in the recent opportunity set, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing across multiple concurrent solicitations. Work being solicited includes bulk food supply contracts delivering dozens to hundreds of line items spanning canned proteins, vegetables, condiments, and prepared foods alongside discrete peanut or peanut-butter items positioned within broader consumable-food packages rather than as standalone commodity buys.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued three overlapping IFBs between May and August 2026 for supplemental food and consumables totaling up to $4.5 million over three years (HHS0016792V2, posted May 19, 2026, due March 19, 2026), consumables for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (HHS0017872, posted August 11, 2026, due August 25, 2026), and El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter under IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools sought bids on school nutrition products emphasizing domestic content and whole-grain options (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools issued a comprehensive food bid across five schools for the 2026-2027 school year with sealed bids due June 5, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections procurement S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) at 7,616 cases demonstrates the scale typical of institutional bulk food buys in this space. These solicitations consistently require FOB Destination pricing with freight prepaid, delivery within 7–72 hours of order, minimum three references, and compliance with federal Buy American, HACCP, debarment, and E-Verify requirements.
