UNSPSC 50616851: Canned or jarred Non GMO raddichios

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO raddichios and 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 50616851 Canned or jarred Non GMO raddichios is a Commodity code with sparse recent state and local procurement activity; the code appears mismatched to actual solicited goods. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve broad food-service categories—canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, eggs, and assorted grocery items—rather than the specific Non GMO raddicchio products the code nominates. State and local governments soliciting under similar food-procurement codes are purchasing institutional food supplies for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers, typically through IFB, RFP, or RFQ notice types. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), county school districts (Muscogee County, Liberty County, Burke County, Ben Hill County, Douglas County, Fairfax County, Savannah-Chatham County), and specialized districts (Rockwood R-VI School District). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri.

Representative recent solicitations show the actual scope of state and local food procurement. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period and pricing governed by firm fixed rates plus CPI adjustments. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016089 (due March 9, 2026) for approximately 1,904 cases of tomato paste at the Central Distribution Center in Salem, with a prior purchase price of $27.75 per case. Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens, requiring minimum three years of food delivery experience and compliance with Buy American Act requirements. The code itself shows no recent opportunities for Non GMO raddichios specifically; vendors pursuing institutional food supply contracts should monitor broader grocery and produce commodity codes and state/local school nutrition and facility-services solicitations where the actual buying activity occurs.
