UNSPSC 50616866: Canned or jarred Non GMO yautia

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO yautia 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 50616866 Canned or jarred Non GMO yautia is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source contains no recent opportunities for non-GMO yautia or yautia products of any kind. Instead, the most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities block documents solicitations for broad food service categories—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, grocery staples, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods—issued by state departments, school districts, and correctional facilities across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri between January and June 2026. These opportunities reflect routine institutional food purchasing rather than specialized root-vegetable procurement. The code appears misaligned with actual purchasing patterns or is rarely deployed by state and local buyers.

School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), and Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), all seeking comprehensive grocery and produce contracts for the 2026–2027 school year. State agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and State of Georgia also issued food procurement RFPs and IFBs. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement (HHS0017449, IFB, response due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products for state supported living centers at an estimated historical value of $1.5 million, the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, ITB, response due June 19, 2026) totaling approximately 7,616 cases, and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, response due April 27, 2026) covering 45 schools across two distribution models. The code itself does not appear to drive procurement strategy; buyers instead solicit broadly across multiple UNSPSC food codes to meet institutional meal requirements.
