UNSPSC 50616825: Canned or jarred Non GMO donqua

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO donqua 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 50616825 Canned or jarred non-GMO donqua is a Commodity code that does not match the recent state and local procurement activity shown in the source material. The code nominally refers to a specific preserved vegetable product, but the opportunities posted under or near this designation predominantly solicit broader food service categories—canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, eggs, comprehensive grocery supplies for school nutrition programs, and institutional food service for state facilities. The few opportunities that touch on canned goods (tomato products, for instance) represent tactical procurement line items within larger, multi-category food supply contracts rather than focused buys of the specific commodity the code names.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food procurement under nominally related codes span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Burke County, Ben Hill County, and Douglas County school systems across Georgia and Missouri), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), and institutional food service for corrections and health facilities. The geographic spread includes Virginia, Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois, with school nutrition program procurement concentrated in the Southeast. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST, with a 5% Oregon-fabricated and 5% resident-bidder preference); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's request for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million); and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 procurement for 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, with responses required through Bonfire). The code shows little activity specifically targeting canned or jarred non-GMO donqua as a standalone line item and should not be pursued unless recent RFPs name the product explicitly.
