UNSPSC 50615815: Canned or jarred Non GMO susabi nori

The variety of Non GMO sea vegetables known as Non GMO susabi nori 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 50615815 Canned or jarred Non GMO susabi nori, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement records but does not reflect actual recent buying activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty seaweed products—does not align with the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The most recent opportunities solicited under this code involve institutional food service consumables such as prepared foods, shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, and food service supplies for state supported living centers, county senior services, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. None of the recent solicitations—from Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Georgia—reference nori, seaweed products, or Non-GMO specialty items. The code shows a significant mismatch between its formal definition and what state and local governments are actually purchasing under it in practice.

Recent opportunities under this code span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple fiscal-year food and consumable procurements for state supported living centers and state hospitals. Representative recent solicitations include IFB HHS0018082 from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods and food service supplies at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, and IWQ 140229 from Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017145 (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools both issued school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 covering hundreds of line items across multiple food categories. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its nominal commodity—no state or local issuer has solicited nori or seaweed products under this code in the recent opportunities block.
