UNSPSC 50615532: Canned or jarred Non GMO poblano peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO poblano peppers 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 50615532 Canned or jarred Non GMO poblano peppers is a Commodity code that captures narrow-gauge food product procurement by state and local institutions. State and local governments buy canned poblano peppers as part of broader food-service supply chains serving correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The work involves supplying shelf-stable, specification-compliant canned vegetables to institutional food-service operations—typically as one line item within a larger RFP, RFQ, or IFB that covers dozens or hundreds of food products rather than as a standalone solicitation. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, county schools, and independent school districts. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers in the recent-opportunities block.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Texas dominating the record. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response deadline July 13, 2026), which called for 210+ line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products with a historical annual value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), which sets a pattern for large-volume institutional canned-vegetable procurement; and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products (due June 15, 2026), which encompassed nearly 400 line items across multiple categories. Poblano peppers typically appear as a single line item within these broader institutional food procurements and are evaluated on price, specification compliance, delivery performance, and vendor responsibility. No recent opportunities name poblano peppers explicitly in the abstracts provided, indicating the code sees activity as part of larger institutional food supply contracts rather than standalone commodity solicitations.
