UNSPSC 50616222: Canned or jarred Non GMO sugar loaf squash

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as Non GMO sugar loaf squash 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 50616222 Canned or jarred Non GMO sugar loaf squash is a Commodity code with virtually no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The single sourced opportunity, a June 2026 Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food order (Solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, RFQ, due June 26, 2026), does not specify canned sugar loaf squash among its line items—the scope covers general weekly food supply with brand-specific or equal products, but the item-level detail does not support targeting this code specifically. The recent opportunity block shows dense activity across related food codes (canned tomatoes, fresh produce, comprehensive grocery procurement for school districts and state facilities), but no issuer has posted a solicitation naming canned or jarred Non GMO sugar loaf squash as a discrete requirement.

State and local procurement under this code does not surface in the recent opportunities sampled across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri. School districts, state corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and veterans homes all actively solicit food products—including canned goods, vegetables, and commodity items—but the aggregate posted opportunities reflect demand for canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, comprehensive grocery lines, and facility-level food service without evidence of separate line-item or category-level demand for this specific product. The code presents a low-activity signal; business development focus should track whether issuing bodies incorporate this item into broader grocery or commodity solicitations rather than expect standalone procurement.
