UNSPSC 50553901: Canned or jarred non GMO ananasnaja kiwi fruit

The variety of non GMO kiwi fruit known as non GMO ananasnaja kiwi fruit 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 50553901 Canned or jarred non-GMO ananasnaja kiwi fruit is a Commodity code that in practice captures a narrower slice of state and local food procurement than its specific name suggests — recent solicitations show school districts, counties, states, and other public bodies buying shelf-stable packaged fruits, canned vegetables, and mixed food items far more frequently than the specialty kiwi product named in the code. State and local issuing bodies under this code span school nutrition programs (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), and specialized facilities including veterans homes and state-supported living centers. School districts and corrections departments appear as repeat buyers. The work solicited ranges from single-item buys of canned applesauce (Oregon DOC, May and July 2026) to broad mixed-commodity procurements spanning 35 line items of shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, and staples (Gwinnett County, October 2026) to annual food-service contracts with 200-plus line items of fresh and processed produce and proteins (Hancock County, June 2026; Texas HHSC, June 2026; TDCJ via Texas Comptroller, May 2026). Notice types include ITB, IFB, RFQ, and RFP depending on the issuing body and complexity.

Recent activity spreads across the South and Southwest, with Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut all posting opportunities between May and October 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections posted two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900 cases and 4,760 cases respectively) with responses due June 2 and July 31, 2026; the historical award price was approximately $21.83–$21.84 per case. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items with quotes due October 19, 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for 210 line items of mixed food and consumables with a response deadline of March 19, 2026 (now past) and maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Austin Independent School District posted an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with proposals due July 16, 2026. State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted recurring brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with August 24, 2026 response dates. School districts and corrections agencies typically enforce Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content in processed products and seek firm fixed pricing for contract terms ranging from one to three years with renewal options; state bodies commonly apply prevailing wage requirements and require $1 million to $2 million general commercial liability insurance.
