UNSPSC 50552408: Canned or jarred non GMO spain cherimoya

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO spain 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 50552408 Canned or jarred non-GMO Spain cherimoya is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses a much broader range of shelf-stable fruit products—canned and jarred applesauce, pears, and related processed fruit items—procured primarily by K–12 school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and institutional food service operations. The code itself nominally references a specific varietal product; actual solicitations under this tag reflect demand for standardized, USDA-compliant canned fruit meeting commodity specifications for shelf life, packaging (juice, water, or light syrup), and food safety. State and local issuing bodies include school districts of varying sizes (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Douglas County and Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, Dallas and Austin independent school districts in Texas), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and a municipal board of education (Bridgeport, Connecticut). School nutrition programs represent the dominant buyer segment; institutional food service for corrections and state-supported living centers appears as a secondary but recurring category.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the South (Georgia, Texas, Florida) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity across Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with an incumbent price of $21.84 per case and 5% Oregon-goods and 5% Oregon-resident preferences; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (including fruit items) supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce including over 200 line items (apples, berries, citrus) due June 26, 2026, with Buy American requirements mandating 51% domestic content for processed products. School district solicitations consistently emphasize USDA commodity compliance, Child Nutrition Act adherence, Buy American provisions, firm fixed pricing for annual or multi-year terms, and delivery to central warehouses or individual school sites. Activity in this code reflects steady institutional purchasing demand, particularly aligned with school calendar cycles (July start dates common) and federal nutrition standards.
