UNSPSC 50616865: Canned or jarred Non GMO yampi

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO yampi 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 50616865 Canned or jarred Non GMO yampi is a Commodity code that names a narrow product line, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code show little actual procurement activity for the specific product. State and local governments purchasing food products under this code span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), and correctional facilities. However, the recent opportunities that reference this code's broader food product family—such as canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, and general grocery items—dominate the activity, suggesting that state and local bodies are purchasing these items under a wider food commodities framing rather than seeking specialty products like Non GMO yampi specifically.

The code shows scattered activity across multiple states and regions. Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple ITBs for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases as of June 2026 and March 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumable products statewide serving state hospitals and supported living centers, with estimated values reaching $4.5 million over three years. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County) all issued food procurement RFPs and IFBs for quarterly or annual supplies, typically with delivery windows between June and May for fiscal years ending June 30. The code shows no concentrated activity in any single state or jurisdiction; rather, procurement is distributed across school nutrition programs, state institutional feeding operations, and specialized facilities. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 (approximately 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case based on prior purchase), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-year value of $1.5 million. However, none of these solicitations explicitly names the Non GMO yampi product; the code's narrow nominal scope does not align with the broad groceries and institutional food supply work actually being procured. Firms pursuing this code should expect to compete on commodity food supplies more broadly rather than specialty items.
