UNSPSC 50616816: Canned or jarred Non GMO cha-om

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO cha-om 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 50616816 Canned or jarred Non GMO cha-om, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — canned or jarred non-GMO cha-om leaves (a leafy Asian ingredient) — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under this code, which overwhelmingly center on conventional food products such as canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods for schools, correctional facilities, and state health agencies. The recent opportunities block shows no actual solicitations for the specialized product the code nominally describes.

State and local governments pursuing food procurement under related commodity codes are issuing IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs through school nutrition programs, state health and human services commissions, state correctional departments, and county school districts across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato ITB (S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, estimated $1.5 million historical value), and Fairfax County Public Schools' master grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, 45 schools plus distribution kitchens). Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood School District in Missouri, and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia have all issued food procurement IFBs or RFPs within the past four months. If your firm supplies canned or jarred non-GMO cha-om specifically, this code shows little current demand; if your portfolio includes conventional canned goods, fresh produce, or prepared foods for institutional food service, pursue opportunities under related commodity codes with demonstrated recent activity in school and state institutional procurement rather than rely on this code's sparse signal.
