UNSPSC 50616841: Canned or jarred Non GMO maguey leaves

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO maguey 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 50616841 Canned or jarred Non GMO maguey leaves (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement records but represents negligible recent solicitation activity. The nine most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 under this code actually solicit mainstream consumable foods — canned tomatoes, potatoes, shelf-stable proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, bread, and prepared entrees — for institutional food service at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state health agencies. None of the nine postings name maguey leaves or any specialized ethnic or regional food product; the code assignment appears to be a taxonomy misclassification. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas, Georgia, Illinois), state corrections and department of education agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Burke County and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and school nutrition programs across multiple states.

Activity clusters in Texas (four postings from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia (three from school districts and county purchasing), and Oregon (two from state corrections). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, prior purchase price $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive school food products (due June 15, 2026, with Buy American Act requirements). The code shows no procurement signals relevant to canned or jarred maguey leaves; business development professionals evaluating this code should treat recent activity as unrelated to the nominal commodity scope and monitor for reclassification or misassignment patterns.
