UNSPSC 50616910: Canned or jarred Non GMO reuzensuiker peas

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO reuzensuiker 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 50616910 Canned or jarred Non GMO reuzensuiker peas (Commodity) describes canned and jarred pea products, but recent state and local opportunities show little activity specifically pegged to this code. The recent solicitations tagged with 50616910 instead procure broader consumable food products — prepared foods, canned vegetables generally, meat proteins, dairy, dry goods, and food service supplies — for state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services programs, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia), and independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia). The work solicited is not peas specifically but rather standing supply contracts for institutional food service operations where canned vegetables are one line item among dozens of categories.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission seeking consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026), spanning 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with estimated annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026) including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services; and the Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes under IFB S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026), with Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-resident bidder preferences of 5 percent. The code appears to function as a broad catch-all for canned vegetable items within larger institutional food service contracts rather than a discrete market for peas alone; vendors pursuing work under this code should expect to bid on comprehensive food catalogs as part of multi-year standing supply arrangements.
