UNSPSC 50616908: Canned or jarred Non GMO oregon sugar pod peas

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO oregon sugar pod 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 50616908 Canned or jarred Non GMO Oregon sugar pod peas is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable legume products procured primarily by state agencies and school districts for institutional food service, canteens, and nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show actual purchasing focused on bulk canned and jarred vegetables—including peas, tomatoes, and mixed canned goods—as line items within comprehensive food-service contracts rather than as standalone pea-specific purchases. The mix of issuing bodies includes state health and human services agencies managing state supported living centers and hospitals (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois, Oregon Department of Corrections), county social services departments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and school districts operating nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and independent school nutrition programs). These jurisdictions treat canned vegetables as commoditized components of larger institutional food procurements, with pricing and availability evaluated on a per-unit basis against competing line items and vendor breadth of inventory.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso, with the most recent opportunities due October 23, 2026 (HHS0018082, canteen and campus consumables) and referenced in a prior FY27 bid (HHS0017872, due August 25, 2026). Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables for senior services, with quotes due October 19, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026), demonstrating state procurement of large-volume canned vegetables at firm fixed unit pricing. School districts in Georgia—Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools—included canned vegetables within comprehensive nutrition-program food bids for FY 2027 (Ben Hill IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026; Burke County PE55037NONST2027000000007, due May 26, 2026). The code shows consistent activity across multiple issuing-body types but no recent opportunities explicitly tagged to sugar pod peas as a distinct line item; current purchasing treats canned legumes and vegetables as commodity substitutes within broader food-service contracts evaluated on lowest-responsive-bidder criteria with brand-or-equivalent flexibility.
