UNSPSC 50616907: Canned or jarred Non GMO hurst green shaft peas

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO hurst green shaft 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 50616907 Canned or jarred Non GMO Hurst green shaft peas is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable, packaged vegetable products procured by state and local governments for food service operations at state institutions, school districts, and county social service programs. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly requesting canned green peas by product name or specification; instead, state and local agencies are buying broad categories of canned and shelf-stable food items—including canned vegetables, tomatoes, proteins, and prepared meals—through consolidated food service contracts. The code's nominal scope (Non GMO Hurst green shaft peas specifically) does not align with the general-category food procurement activity visible in the recent opportunities. State and local issuing bodies active in this commodity family include state health and human services departments managing state supported living centers, county boards of commissioners operating senior services and community nutrition programs, school districts operating child nutrition programs, state departments of corrections, and state comptrollers' offices procuring on behalf of custodial agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide.

The most recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), which encompasses 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery within seven days; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables, proteins, and sauces for senior services (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food products across four school locations under Buy American Act requirements (due June 15, 2026). None of these recent solicitations specifically named canned green peas as a line item, suggesting that while the code exists in the taxonomy, demand for this product under this specific commodity identifier is not visible in current state and local procurement activity.
