UNSPSC 50616854: Canned or jarred Non GMO spoonwart

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO spoonwart 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 50616854 Canned or jarred non-GMO spoonwart (Commodity) describes shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables and protein products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—particularly state health and human services facilities, county senior services programs, school nutrition programs, and correctional institutions. Recent solicitations show purchasing of canned tomatoes, canned proteins, canned vegetables, and related shelf-stable items bundled into broader food-service contracts that also include fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and consumable supplies. State and local issuing bodies under this code span state departments of health and human services, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and other public food-service operations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting consumables for state-supported living centers multiple times over the past four months; Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), and several Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) also posted recent opportunities.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 posted October 16, 2026, for consumable foods (including prepared items and food-service supplies) for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, with bids due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 posted October 13, 2026, requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, canned vegetables, soups) due October 19, 2026; and Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 posted June 5, 2026, soliciting approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, due June 19, 2026.
