UNSPSC 50552300: Canned or jarred non GMO breadfruits

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO breadfruit that has 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 50552300 Canned or jarred non-GMO breadfruits, a Class code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity; instead, the opportunities tagged under this code show school districts, state agencies, and detention facilities buying canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and commodity food products for child nutrition programs and institutional food service. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual goods being solicited suggests either miscoding or that the code is not actively used for state and local procurement in this region and timeframe. The issuing bodies include school districts (Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and county school nutrition programs. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois over the past six months.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned fruit applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, under the OregonBuys system with a 10% combined Oregon-sourced and Oregon-headquartered business preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026, covering multiple food categories under a structure with a historical annual value guideline of $1.5 million; and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia soliciting IFB bids for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, specialty items) with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, and delivery to three school locations under a Buy American requirement of 51% domestic agricultural content in processed products. School district food-service procurements routinely specify Buy American, USDA compliance, HACCP plans, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, insurance requirements ranging from $1 million to $2 million general liability, and delivery to multiple school sites within narrow time windows; many include renewal options spanning three to five years and evaluate awards by lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value across multiple line items or vendor lots.
