UNSPSC 50615907: Canned or jarred Non GMO hative de niort shallots

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO hative de niort 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 50615907 Canned or jarred Non-GMO native de niort shallots is a Commodity code that sits beneath broader food-supply procurement by state and local institutions. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code do not reflect shallot procurement specifically; instead, they capture institutional food-service contracting for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and county human services operations. The actual work being solicited spans shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, condiments, and consumable supplies (containers, napkins, straws, hairnets) for cafeteria and canteen operations. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas), state departments of corrections (Oregon), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia), and state prison systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). The issuing-body mix skews heavily toward institutional food service for facilities serving confined or vulnerable populations—state-supported living centers, correctional institutions, and school nutrition programs across multiple campuses.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the heaviest recent volume from Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitations. Representative opportunities include Texas HHS0018082 (IFB for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026, 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products due October 19, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000017145 (IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, bids due June 19, 2026, with prior February 2026 award at $13.75 per case to California Healthy Harvest), and Ben Hill County Schools PE61000NONST2027000000006 (IFB for comprehensive school nutrition program covering fresh produce, meat, dairy, and dried goods across four school locations, bids due June 15, 2026). Delivery terms uniformly require FOB Destination with freight prepaid or included, and most solicitations mandate reference checks, compliance with E-Verify and debarment certifications, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000. The code shows no recent activity specifically for non-GMO jarred shallots; the tagging appears to reflect a data-classification mismatch rather than active procurement demand under this Commodity's nominal scope.
