UNSPSC 50616833: Canned or jarred Non GMO horseradish

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO horseradish 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 50616833 Canned or jarred Non-GMO horseradish is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable, packaged horseradish products used in institutional food service and distribution. Recent state and local opportunities show this code appearing within broader food-supply solicitations for state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, school districts, and county social services departments. The work being solicited is not horseradish procurement in isolation but rather inclusion as a line item within large consumable-food contracts serving institutional kitchens, canteens, and food-service operations. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions (Texas), state corrections departments (Oregon), county boards of commissioners (Georgia), and independent school districts (Georgia, Texas), with state agencies and school nutrition programs appearing as the primary buyers. The majority of recent activity involves Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitations for state supported living centers and state hospital food service, where horseradish and similar condiments appear alongside proteins, prepared foods, and food-service supplies.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with Oregon and Illinois also posting institutional food-service bids during the June-October 2026 window. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which covers 22 line items including prepared foods and food-service supplies for fiscal year 2027 operations; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables and proteins for community services (response due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, with bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST, reflecting the volume and operational scale of state procurement in this category. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia both posted comprehensive school-nutrition food bids in May-June 2026 encompassing hundreds of line items and multiple school sites. No recent solicitation was posted specifically naming non-GMO horseradish as a standalone requirement; the code sees activity only when embedded in broader institutional food-service contracts where condiments and shelf-stable items are lumped into larger line-item groupings.
