UNSPSC 50551507: Canned or jarred non GMO bramley seedling apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO bramley seedling apples 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 50551507 Canned or jarred non-GMO Bramley seedling apples, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable preserved apple products that state and local governments procure primarily for food service operations at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and senior services. Recent solicitations show buyers purchasing canned applesauce in bulk cases (typically 1,900–4,760 cases per procurement), along with broader food-supply contracts that reference processed apple products as line items within larger commodity buys. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies operating supported living centers and hospitals, county boards of education, school districts, and county senior services departments.

Activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000016975 and S2910000017453), with the most recent due June 2, 2026, soliciting approximately 1,904 cases with delivery to Salem and a historical award price of $21.83 per case. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792v2 in May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables statewide, with a contract value ceiling of $4.5 million across three years; Georgia posted a general food-supplies solicitation in May 2026. School districts and county education boards in Georgia and Texas have issued broader food procurement RFQs and IFBs (Gwinnett County in October 2026, Hancock County Schools in June 2026) that include fresh produce and processed fruit items. The code shows active quarterly and annual renewal cycles, particularly for state institutional food service, with most recent responses due between May and October 2026. Pricing remains competitive—Oregon's historical benchmark stood near $21.83 per case as of early 2026, and contracts typically run 12 months with optional renewal periods.
