UNSPSC 50616906: Canned or jarred Non GMO feltham first peas

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO feltham first peas that have 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 50616906, Canned or jarred non-GMO Feltham First peas (Commodity), represents a narrow product line within state and local government food procurement. However, the recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations specifically for this product; instead, state and local issuing bodies are procuring broad baskets of shelf-stable and prepared foods that may include canned peas as one line item among dozens or hundreds of others. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods serving state supported living centers, Georgia school districts and counties have issued food bids for cafeteria and nutrition programs, and Oregon's Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (a comparable canned vegetable product) in June 2026. When canned vegetables appear in these solicitations, they typically sit alongside proteins, condiments, frozen specialty items, and food service supplies rather than as standalone procurements. State issuing bodies — primarily corrections, health and human services, and education agencies — buy these products under cooperative or open competitive IFB and RFQ processes with response dates usually two to four weeks from posting.

Activity is concentrated in Texas (Health and Human Services Commission at the Lufkin and El Paso state supported living centers), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with individual school districts and correctional facilities across multiple states driving demand. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each issued comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 encompassing hundreds of line items; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Comptroller of Public Accounts) solicited approximately 382 cafeteria food line items across five geographic regions in May 2026. Canned peas would compete as a commodity item within these larger baskets, typically FOB Destination with seven-day delivery windows and firm pricing for initial contract periods (30 days to one year) followed by escalation clauses tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks. Vendors routinely must provide three references, execute compliance affidavits (E-Verify, debarment, non-collusion), and maintain liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000. The code shows no dedicated recent solicitations for canned non-GMO peas specifically; entry occurs as a line item within larger food service contracts.
