UNSPSC 50552301: Canned or jarred non GMO chataigne breadfruit

The variety of non GMO breadfruit known as non GMO chataigne 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 50552301 Canned or jarred non-GMO chataigne breadfruit is a Commodity code that state and local governments use primarily to procure canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service — school districts, corrections departments, health and human services facilities, and other state-supported operations. Recent solicitations show that issuing bodies are applying this code to purchases of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and broader food supply contracts, though the actual scope diverges significantly from the code's narrow focus on chataigne breadfruit; in practice, state and local procurement offices are using the code to tag fruit and produce procurement more broadly. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, independent school districts, county boards of education, county school systems, and city departments. The mix skews heavily toward school nutrition programs and institutional meal services supporting student populations and residential facility residents.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois, with the most recent solicitations active in summer 2026. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, specifying USDA 2011 commodity standards and delivery to Salem; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 13, 2026, covering diverse institutional food service needs at an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million. School districts across Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) issued concurrent IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce and grocery items in late March through late June 2026, typically with annual contract values implied in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. The code shows consistent activity across multiple issuing-body types and jurisdictions, with response windows typically ranging from two to eight weeks and awards often made on a lowest-responsive-bid or best-value basis.
