UNSPSC 50551593: Canned or jarred non GMO white transparent apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO white transparent 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 50551593 Canned or jarred non GMO white transparent apples is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct solicitation activity; state and local governments do not appear to be buying this specific product category with regularity. The recent opportunities block contains 16 state and local food-service procurements posted between January and July 2026, but none align with the code's nominal scope of canned or jarred non-GMO white transparent apples. The opportunities instead reflect school districts, correctional facilities, and health-services agencies soliciting canned applesauce, fresh produce bundles (including multiple apple varieties), dried fruit bars, and broad commodity food packages. One June 2026 Oregon Department of Corrections ITB (S2910000017453) explicitly requested canned applesauce in a 4,760-case volume with delivery to Salem at $21.84 per case (historical price from Robbins Sales), but this represents processed applesauce rather than the whole or sliced canned apples the commodity code describes. An earlier Oregon ITB (S2910000016975, posted May 2026) procured 1,904 cases of canned applesauce at approximately $21.827 per case. School nutrition programs across multiple states—Hancock County Georgia (fresh produce including multiple apple varieties), Savannah-Chatham Georgia (21,125 cases of Fuji apples annually), and others—buy fresh apples and apple-based products, but not specifically canned white transparent apples under this code.

The code shows no meaningful recent activity that maps to its stated product line. The sourced opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri, but they cluster around fresh produce contracts, applesauce (a processed product not matching the commodity name), and multi-item food service bundles. No issuing body appears to solicit canned or jarred non-GMO white transparent apples as a distinct line item. Unless your firm holds existing relationships with applesauce suppliers or targets a niche within institutional food service, this code warrants a watch posture rather than immediate pursuit; the mismatch between the code's scope and actual procurement activity suggests either tagging error by issuing bodies or sustained low demand for this specific product form in state and local procurement.
