UNSPSC 50616846: Canned or jarred Non GMO moqua

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO moqua 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 50616846 Canned or jarred Non GMO moqua is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred food products, including specialty items, for institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities block shows no direct procurements under this code; instead, recent state and local solicitations name canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and broad food-supply categories (eggs, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, condiments, and consumable supplies) for institutional food service at correctional facilities, state health facilities, and school nutrition programs. The code's nominal product—canned moqua, a Non-GMO specialty item—does not appear in any posted opportunity, suggesting the taxonomy designation may not align with current procurement practice or the code represents a niche product line with minimal recent activity in state and local markets.

State and local food procurement is concentrated among school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and institutional care facilities across multiple states. School nutrition programs dominate the volume: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) have all issued IFBs or RFPs for master grocery contracts, grocery items, fresh produce, and eggs covering multiple line items and annual expenditures ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. State agencies procure food for correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomatoes, ITB S2910000016405; Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products, IFB 304T26300CF) and health facilities (Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables, IFB HHS0016792 and HHS0017449; state hospitals and supported living centers). Illinois Veterans Homes and county school nutrition programs round out the issuing-body mix. Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with Georgia school districts particularly active in the first half of 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement of supplemental food and consumables (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million) serving state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide, and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) supplying 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across Virginia with weekly deliveries.
