UNSPSC 50615601: Canned or jarred Non GMO long white potatoes

The variety of Non GMO potatoes known as Non GMO long white potatoes 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 50615601 Canned or jarred Non GMO long white potatoes is a Commodity code identifying a specific food product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically naming this code or seeking canned non-GMO long white potatoes in isolation; instead, the code appears tagged to a much wider range of food procurement activity spanning fresh produce, canned goods, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services operations. The actual state and local demand under this Commodity code is subsumed within larger master grocery, food supply, and consumable contracts where canned potatoes are one line item among hundreds.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food procurement include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Douglas County School System, Georgia), state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and special-purpose nutrition programs serving state facilities. Geographic spread spans the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Texas, with school nutrition programs representing the largest volume of repeat activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million) covering NIGP food categories 380, 385, 390, and 393; the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato bid (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case from prior purchase); Ben Hill County Schools food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) spanning fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, condiments, and kitchen supplies across four school locations; and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with minimum 76 line items. These opportunities emphasize firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, USDA grade standards, and multiple renewal options, with canned goods representing a minor component of much larger commodity bundles rather than standalone procurement activity.
