UNSPSC 50553702: Canned or jarred non GMO carrley guavas

The variety of non GMO guavas known as non GMO carrley guavas 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 50553702 Canned or jarred non-GMO carrots and guavas is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it show minimal activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The fourteen opportunities posted between February and July 2026 span a broad range of food service procurement — including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, condiments, and comprehensive food-supply contracts — with only tangential connection to canned or jarred non-GMO vegetables or tropical fruits. State and local buyers using this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Austin Independent School District, Texas; Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Dallas Independent School District, Texas), corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, serving state hospitals and supported living centers), and counties (Douglas County School System, Georgia; Muscogee County School District, Georgia). The issuing bodies reflect a mix of educational and custodial food service operations, with school nutrition programs dominating the recent opportunity mix.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Connecticut, with secondary representation from Virginia and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), requesting approximately 4,760 cases at historical pricing of $21.84 per case with a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-vendor preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792V2, originally due March 19, 2026, covering 210 line items and maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) supplying 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas. The code shows no recent direct solicitations for canned or jarred non-GMO carrots or guavas specifically, indicating weak alignment between the commodity classification and actual state and local procurement demand under this line item.
