UNSPSC 50552409: Canned or jarred non GMO white cherimoya

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO white 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 50552409 Canned or jarred non-GMO white cherimoya is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of canned and jarred fruit products far more broadly than the nominal category suggests. Recent solicitations show departments of corrections, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state facilities purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh and canned produce, eggs, and bulk groceries—with the code applied to what amounts to general food-service procurement spanning preserved fruits, fresh produce, and consumables for institutional meal programs. The issuing-body mix skews heavily toward school nutrition programs and state facility food services: school districts (Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Liberty County, Austin ISD, and others) dominate the recent activity, alongside state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and county boards of education. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears twice in the recent window, suggesting repeat procurement activity. Geographic spread is national: Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois all show recent solicitations under this or related food-service codes.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, seeking approximately 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case with 5–10 percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a proposal deadline of July 13, 2026 and a prior-period volume of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school sites and a contract period running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts forecasts approximately $5.5 million in annual spending across two geographic areas with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products, firm fixed pricing, and 30-day payment terms appear consistently across school and facility procurements. The code shows steady activity in food-service supply chains but misalignment between the nominal commodity name (non-GMO white cherimoya) and what is actually being procured at scale (standard institutional canned fruits, produce, and general food supplies).
