UNSPSC 50615902: Canned or jarred Non GMO creation shallots

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO creation shallots 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 50615902 Canned or jarred Non GMO creation shallots is a Commodity code that captures state and local government purchases of shelf-stable vegetables preserved in cans or jars, specifically non-GMO shallot products. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal specific activity; the broader procurement landscape reveals that state and local jurisdictions source canned vegetables as part of larger, multi-category food service contracts rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies active in the recent opportunities block include state departments (Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia), school districts (Fairfax County Virginia, Ben Hill County Georgia, Burke County Georgia, Rockwood R-VI Missouri, Liberty County Georgia, Muscogee County Georgia, Savannah-Chatham Georgia, Douglas County Georgia), and correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School nutrition programs and institutional food service operations (state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, veterans homes) represent the primary market for canned and jarred vegetables, with product sourcing typically bundled into weekly or quarterly food orders and annual grocery contracts serving hundreds of line items and dozens of delivery locations.

Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri, with particular concentration in the Southeast and evidence of year-round procurement cycles. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' February 2026 ITB for approximately 1,904 cases of tomato paste (S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's February 2026 and May 2026 IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0016792, due March 19, 2026, and HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026). Smaller weekly food orders from single state agencies—such as the Illinois Veterans Home's quarterly RFQ for 24 line items including canned vegetables (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026)—also source canned products. Pricing for canned tomatoes tracked at $14.30 per case (whole form, August 2025) and $27.75 per case (tomato paste, May 2025) from prior purchases. School district contracts emphasize Buy American compliance, USDA nutritional standards, sodium limits, and low-cost pricing, while correctional and state health facility procurements accept multiple product forms and grades within fixed-price or cost-plus frameworks. No recent opportunities in the block specifically name shallots as a discrete line item; canned shallots would likely appear as a minor commodity within broader produce or condiment categories rather than as a standalone procurement focus.
