UNSPSC 50615524: Canned or jarred Non GMO hungarian wax peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO hungarian wax 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 50615524 Canned or jarred non-GMO Hungarian wax peppers is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure canned and jarred peppers as part of broader food service supply contracts for institutional kitchens, schools, and residential facilities. Recent solicitations show peppers appearing as line items within large consumables buys alongside other canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and food service supplies; the code does not stand alone as a dedicated procurement but rather sits within aggregated food provisioning for public institutions.

Issuing bodies across this code span state health and human services agencies, school districts, county government departments, state corrections systems, and departments of criminal justice. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominate the recent sample, but Georgia and Oregon public bodies—including school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county governments (Gwinnett County), and state corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections)—also solicit food items tagged to this category. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026, encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with annual quantities of 1–24 cases per item), and Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026). The Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers (response deadline March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas (response deadline May 4, 2026, approximately 382 line items) illustrate the scale and multi-facility scope typical under this code.
