UNSPSC 50615518: Canned or jarred Non GMO cherry hots peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO cherry hots 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 50615518 Canned or jarred Non-GMO cherry hots peppers (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity primarily through school district and institutional food service solicitations where canned or jarred peppers are purchased as line items within broader grocery or food supply contracts, though the recent opportunities block shows no dedicated procurement specifically for this commodity alone. State and local governments acquire this product type as part of comprehensive food service spend for K–12 school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and veterans' homes. Issuing bodies span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System, and Fairfax County Public Schools), state agencies (Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Education), and county school systems across multiple states. The commodity sits within larger grocery RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs where vendors quote hundreds of line items organized by product category, with canned vegetables and peppers typically appearing alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois, based on recent solicitation volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical spend of $1.5 million annually; Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive school food products across four school locations with Buy American Act compliance required; and Rockwood R-VI School District grocery procurement (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items for the 2026–27 school year serving approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants. Pricing in recent solicitations remains firm for the full contract period with potential midterm adjustments permitted only where manufacturers increase costs 5 percent or greater, and delivery timelines typically require weekly or twice-weekly fulfillment to multiple school sites or central warehouses. No dedicated recent opportunities targeting canned or jarred Non-GMO cherry hots peppers as a standalone commodity line are present in the source block; this product enters procurement through its inclusion in broader food service contracts where vendors respond to hundreds of line items simultaneously.
