UNSPSC 50551712: Canned or jarred non GMO pisang mas bananas

The variety of non GMO bananas known as non GMO pisang mas bananas 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 50551712 Canned or jarred non-GMO pisang mas bananas is a Commodity code that does not see relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span general food procurement at school districts, county health departments, state corrections facilities, and state-supported living centers, but none of the posted solicitations specifically solicit pisang mas bananas or specialty banana products; instead they request broad shelf-stable food items (canned proteins, vegetables, fruits, condiments), fresh produce, applesauce, dried fruit bars, or cafeteria entrees. The code's narrow commodity definition — a single banana variety in preserved form — appears misaligned with how state and local jurisdictions actually buy food products, which they typically procure through broader RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs that aggregate dozens or hundreds of line items across multiple food categories rather than by discrete commodity.

The geographic spread of food procurement activity in the dataset spans Georgia (Gwinnett County Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, State of Georgia), Illinois (State Veterans Home at Quincy), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, Austin Independent School District, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). The volume and frequency of these solicitations — with most opportunities posted between May and October 2026 and response dates ranging from June through October — signal sustained demand across state departments, county school boards, corrections systems, and municipal nutrition centers. However, the absence of any posted opportunity specifically naming pisang mas bananas or other specialty banana products suggests this code either sees no active state and local buying or is seldom used by procurement offices for food service categorization.
