UNSPSC 50552405: Canned or jarred non GMO jete cherimoya

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO jete 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 50552405 Canned or jarred non-GMO jete cherimoya is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not reflect meaningful procurement volume under this specific product designation. The code nominally targets a highly specialized produce item—non-GMO cherimoya in preserved form—yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for that product. Instead, state and local jurisdictions are actively soliciting canned applesauce, fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), dried fruit bars, general food and consumable products for institutional food service, and cafeteria staples (proteins, dairy, grains, canned vegetables). The issuing bodies are diverse: county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state-level departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), independent school districts (Austin ISD), city procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia). These agencies procure shelf-stable, bulk food items for nutrition programs, institutional feeding, and state-facility operations.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in the South and West. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (May 2026 and July 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts solicited supplemental and cafeteria food products across state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional facilities (May and June 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) sought fresh produce and bulk commodities respectively. The Austin Independent School District (Texas) requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. The Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy solicited weekly food orders on a brand-specific and brand-or-equal basis for quarterly periods (June and August 2026). This code shows no direct alignment with recent opportunities; state and local procurement under nominally related commodity codes is addressing institutional food service broadly, but not the non-GMO cherimoya product specifically designated by this UNSPSC number.
