UNSPSC 50616842: Canned or jarred Non GMO mallows

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO mallows 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 50616842 Canned or jarred Non GMO mallows is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity posted under it in recent state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities tagged to this code consist entirely of broad-based food service supply contracts—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, supplemental food and consumables for state facilities, and school nutrition program grocery procurement—with no solicitations for canned or jarred mallows or related confectionery items appearing in the records from June 2026 back through January 2026. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually buying under this designation, suggesting either a tagging error in the procurement system or dormancy of the mallows category itself in state and local purchasing.

The issuing bodies soliciting under records tagged to this code are school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Burke County, and Douglas County school systems in Georgia and Missouri), state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and a single county school system (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia). The geographic spread spans Virginia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Georgia, with the heaviest recent concentration in Georgia school nutrition procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 IFB for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 for weekly food deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across the district (due April 27, 2026). The code yields no actionable market signal for mallows procurement and should be verified against the actual commodity purchased before pursuit.
