UNSPSC 50615903: Canned or jarred Non GMO drittler white nest shallots

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO drittler white nest 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 50615903 Canned or jarred non-GMO drittler white nest shallots is a Commodity code that describes specialty preserved vegetable products, though recent state and local solicitations show little activity specifically targeting this item—the code does not appear in the recent opportunities block. State and local food procurement under related canned and preserved vegetable codes centers on high-volume consumable purchasing by state health and human services agencies, corrections departments, school districts, and county social services programs. Typical buys span canned tomatoes, canned vegetables, condiments, and prepared food items in bulk quantities ranging from dozens to thousands of cases annually. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services commissions, state corrections agencies, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs across multiple districts, and county departments of community services. These entities source through IFBs, RFQs, and IWQs with response dates typically 5–30 days from posting.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods and supplemental food and consumables for state-supported living centers and state hospitals (HHS0018082, HHS0017872, HHS0016792V2, and HHS0017449), with the largest—HHS0016792V2—covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products across statewide state hospitals and supported living centers with a potential three-year contract value of $4.5 million. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items across five geographic warehouse areas, with response due May 4, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) under IWQ 140229 due October 19, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each issued food bids for school nutrition programs covering hundreds of line items with delivery to multiple school locations. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026. An Illinois state agency (IVHQ) solicited weekly food orders for July–September 2027 under a quarterly food supply model, and an Oregon agency (identified as the Department of Corrections' counterpart on potatoes) posted a produce solicitation on July 17, 2026.
