UNSPSC 50615527: Canned or jarred Non GMO mirasol peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO mirasol 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 50615527 Canned or jarred non-GMO mirasol peppers is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure canned and jarred peppers as part of broader consumable food and food-service supply sourcing for state institutions, school nutrition programs, and county social services. The recent opportunities show peppers listed alongside hundreds of other shelf-stable food items — proteins, vegetables, condiments, dairy, and supplies — in multi-line-item food bids issued by state health and human services agencies, corrections departments, school districts, and county nutrition programs. The work is routine institutional food procurement driven by existing facilities and feeding programs with annual contract cycles rather than project-based activity.

Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (repeat solicitor for state supported living centers), Georgia and Oregon state agencies, state corrections systems, county boards of education, and county nutrition programs. Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and other states across recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (consumable foods with bids due October 23, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (a parallel commodity procurement with bids due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' school nutrition food bid (bids due June 15, 2026). The code itself shows minimal standalone activity — peppers are specified line items within much larger food sourcing efforts rather than sole-source procurements. No recent opportunities exist for mirasol peppers alone; this Commodity code is active only as part of state and local institutional food aggregations.
