UNSPSC 50616855: Canned or jarred Non GMO tassle grape-hyacinth

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO tassle grape-hyacinth 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 50616855 Canned or jarred Non-GMO tassel grape-hyacinth (Commodity) does not align with any of the recent state and local solicitations in the dataset. The eight opportunities posted between May and October 2026 cover institutional food procurement — canned tomatoes, shelf-stable staples, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and consumable food service supplies for state facilities, correctional institutions, school districts, and county services. None of these solicitations reference canned or jarred grape-hyacinth or any non-food botanical products. The code itself describes a specialized botanical product that falls outside the scope of standard state and local government food service contracting activity.

The recent opportunities show robust activity in general institutional food supply across Texas Health and Human Services (multiple state supported living center procurements), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia and Texas school districts, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Gwinnett County (Georgia), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, with notice types including IFB, IWQ, and RFQ. Geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. No recent opportunities support the commodity code's stated scope, indicating either a data-entry error in the code assignment or that this particular product sees no current state and local demand.
