UNSPSC 50553203: Canned or jarred non GMO langley gage gooseberries

The variety of non GMO gooseberries known as non GMO langley gage gooseberries that have 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 50553203, Canned or jarred non-GMO Langley Gage gooseberries (Commodity), does not align with actual state and local procurement activity documented in recent solicitations. The code's specific product scope—non-GMO gooseberries in canned or jarred form—appears in none of the recent opportunities identified across the dataset. Instead, state and local buyers are soliciting shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service, including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and miscellaneous pantry staples for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), and city procurement offices (City of Bridgeport). Food service procurement appears across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, and other states on a recurring basis tied to fiscal-year contracts and seasonal cycles.

Recent representative solicitations show volume-driven, competitive food procurement with tight timelines and firm-fixed pricing. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), historically awarded to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items (HHS0016792V2, with a three-year contract value potential of $4.5 million, due March 19, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice sought cafeteria food products across 382 line items (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum); and Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (PE77023NONST2027000000782, IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy posted multiple quarterly food orders with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. The code shows no matching procurement activity and presents limited pursuit opportunity unless the source data omits gooseberry-specific solicitations.
