UNSPSC 50615606: Canned or jarred Non GMO yellow potatoes

The variety of Non GMO potatoes known as Non GMO yellow 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 50615606 Canned or jarred Non GMO yellow potatoes is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable potato products state and local governments procure for food service operations, though the recent solicitation record shows limited direct activity under this specific code. School districts, state agencies, and institutional purchasers source canned and jarred vegetables—including potatoes—as part of broader grocery and food supply contracts for cafeterias, nutrition programs, and institutional dining. The code sits within a wider procurement ecosystem where potato products appear as line items embedded in comprehensive food service bids rather than as standalone solicitations.

Recent opportunities naming state and local food service buyers span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and institutional purchasers (Illinois Veterans Home). Most activity takes the form of IFB or RFP notices issued by school nutrition programs and state facilities procurement offices seeking multiple food categories at once—fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and canned goods—rather than isolated potato-product requests. The State of Illinois issued RFQs for quarterly food orders in February and June 2026; Texas HHS issued IFBs for supplemental food and consumables in February and May 2026 covering multiple facility types statewide; and Georgia school districts posted numerous IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive grocery and produce supply throughout the first half of 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school district solicitations), Texas (state health and human services facilities), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (state veterans facility), Missouri (school district), and Virginia (Fairfax County). The code sees embedded demand rather than direct spot procurement, making success dependent on vendor capability to bid competitively on large multi-item food baskets where canned potatoes represent one commodity among hundreds of line items, not specialized focus on potato products alone.
