UNSPSC 50616802: Canned or jarred Non GMO aloe leaves

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO aloe leaves 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 50616802 Canned or jarred Non GMO aloe leaves, Commodity, does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code. The most recent opportunities—posted between May and October 2026—uniformly request bulk food products for institutional food service, including canned tomatoes, potatoes, prepared proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy items, and general shelf-stable groceries for state agencies, school districts, county governments, and correctional facilities. None of the opportunities name aloe leaves or any aloe-based product as part of their scope. The code's nominal product—Non GMO canned or jarred aloe leaves—appears inconsistent with actual procurement activity under this classification.

The recent solicitations span Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for state supported living centers and hospitals), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the State of Georgia), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Illinois (State of Illinois). Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, state correctional departments, county purchasing offices, school nutrition programs, and a state comptroller's statewide procurement division. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ for shelf-stable food products (due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections canned-tomato bid for approximately 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case from a prior award (due June 19, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026).
