UNSPSC 50615910: Canned or jarred Non GMO sante shallots

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO sante shallots 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 50615910 Canned or jarred Non GMO sante shallots is a Commodity code that classifies specialty shelf-stable vegetables for institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect broader procurement of canned and jarred produce items—including canned tomatoes, potatoes, and mixed shelf-stable vegetables—for state-operated facilities, county nutrition programs, school districts, and correctional systems. State agencies and local jurisdictions source these items as components of larger food service contracts rather than as standalone line items; shallots appear infrequently as standalone solicitations, with most recent activity treating canned vegetables as one product category within comprehensive multi-line food procurement. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments operating state supported living centers and psychiatric hospitals, county boards of commissioners managing senior services, public school districts running nutrition programs, departments of corrections, and state procurement offices conducting cooperative purchasing on behalf of multiple agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts, and Ben Hill County Schools emerge as repeat buyers of institutional shelf-stable food products during the recent activity window.

Geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017872 (posted August 11, 2026, bids due August 25, 2026) for consumables and noncontract food and kitchen items at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, encompassing 20 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with annual usage quantities ranging from 1 to 24 cases; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 (posted June 5, 2026, bids due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case from the prior February 2026 purchase; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, bids due June 15, 2026) for multi-category food products across four school locations with hundreds of line items, delivery to individual schools, and the Buy American Act applying to all food products. Canned shallots as a discrete commodity receive minimal direct solicitation; buyers typically issue line-item requests within larger institutional food procurements where shallots compete alongside other shelf-stable vegetables and condiments under consolidated contracts with fixed annual terms and optional renewal periods.
