UNSPSC 50552401: Canned or jarred non GMO bays cherimoya

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO bays cherimoya 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 50552401 Canned or jarred non-GMO bays cherimoya (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block shows sustained demand for canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, pears, and mixed produce—across correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state health and human services agencies, but cherimoya is not present in any of the nine relevant solicitations. State and local buyers are procuring standard shelf-stable canned fruits packed in juice, water, or light syrup to meet USDA commodity specifications and food safety standards; the code's nominal focus on non-GMO cherimoya appears disconnected from actual purchasing patterns. School districts, state corrections departments, and health and human services commissions dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat buyers including the Oregon Department of Corrections (two applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food IFBs for state hospitals and supported living centers), and multiple Georgia school districts soliciting fresh and canned produce on annual cycles.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-vendor preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792 for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables (including canned goods) with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and due dates that have passed; and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's BNB053266 for 115 commodity line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, under Buy American provisions and MBE/CBE eligibility. The code shows concentrated activity in school nutrition and institutional food service procurement but little evidence of actual cherimoya sourcing.
