UNSPSC 50615507: Canned or jarred Non GMO kapia peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO kapia peppers 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 50615507 Canned or jarred Non GMO kapia peppers is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned and jarred pepper products as part of larger consumable-food supply contracts for institutional food service, including state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social-service operations. Recent solicitations show peppers appearing as line items within broader food-supply RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs rather than as standalone procurements; peppers feature in multi-category institutional-food buys where state health and human services agencies, school districts, and county governments source dozens or hundreds of line items covering proteins, vegetables, dairy, and kitchen supplies for fiscal-year operations. The issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission state supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections, school districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and nationwide, and county governments including Gwinnett County, Georgia. Work being solicited includes food-service supply agreements running one to three years with renewal options, typically with firm, fixed unit pricing and delivery requirements within seven days of order or on scheduled monthly or quarterly intervals.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables serving state supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso, with line items including fresh, frozen, and canned vegetables alongside other staples; HHS0017872 (due August 25, 2026) and HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) both included peppers among 20–22 food and supply items, with annual quantities typically ranging from 1 to 24 cases per item. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), establishing a representative pattern of institutional vegetable procurement with USDA grade specifications and FOB-Destination delivery to centralized distribution centers. School districts in Georgia—Ben Hill County Schools (due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026)—solicited comprehensive food bids covering nearly 400 line items each for the 2026-2027 school year with weekly delivery to multiple school locations. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products including canned vegetables for senior services. All solicitations require F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight included, delivery compliance within specified windows, product quality certifications, three verifiable references, and compliance with E-Verify, debarment, and state-specific procurement regulations.
