UNSPSC 50551517: Canned or jarred non GMO crispin apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO crispin 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 50551517 Canned or jarred non-GMO Crispin apples, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity. State and local governments are not soliciting canned or jarred Crispin apples specifically under this code. The most recent opportunities in the block tagged to this code actually request canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce (including multiple apple varieties but not canned Crispin apples), and broader food-service commodities. Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, 952-case increments, due July 31, 2026) with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; the same issuer posted a prior ITB S2910000016975 in May 2026 for canned applesauce at approximately $21.83 per case. Austin Independent School District and several other school districts and state agencies are procuring dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce (including apples in multiple varieties—Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp—but not canned Crispin apples). The code appears misaligned with actual procurement demand.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Schools), cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and regional buying cooperatives. School nutrition programs and correctional facilities drive the bulk of activity. Geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois. Because the code nominally names a highly specific product (canned or jarred non-GMO Crispin apples) but recent procurement activity shows demand for applesauce, fresh apples in multiple varieties, dried fruit products, and broad food-service categories, the code does not capture meaningful current market signals for businesses targeting the specific commodity named.
