UNSPSC 50615403: Canned or jarred Non GMO crowder peas

The variety of Non GMO peas known as Non GMO crowder peas 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 50615403 Canned or jarred Non GMO crowder peas is a Commodity code representing a single canned legume product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service operations, though recent opportunities show this specific commodity receives limited standalone solicitation activity. The code sits beneath broader canned vegetable and legume categories and is typically acquired as a line item within larger food procurement programs rather than as a standalone purchase. State and local issuing bodies acquiring food products under this and related commodity codes include school districts, state agencies managing correctional facilities and state-supported living centers, and veterans' homes. Recent opportunities across the broader food procurement landscape include school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, and state correctional systems; school districts represent a particularly active buyer segment, with multiple recent IFBs and RFPs posted by school nutrition programs in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Virginia, and Oregon during the first half of 2026.

Geographic activity for food procurement—the family within which this commodity sits—concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia school districts notably active), the South-Central region (Texas HHSC and TDCJ), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Mid-Atlantic jurisdictions (Virginia). Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and school districts in Georgia and Missouri appear as repeat buyers. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with historical value $1.5 million for the prior period); Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products serving multiple warehouse locations (extended due date May 4, 2026). The source contains no standalone solicitations explicitly listing UNSPSC 50615403 as the primary commodity, indicating that canned non-GMO crowder peas are acquired as secondary line items within comprehensive food service contracts rather than as primary procurement targets at present.
