UNSPSC 50554004: Canned or jarred non GMO malayan kumquats

The variety of non GMO kumquats known as non GMO malayan kumquats 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 50554004 Canned or jarred non-GMO Malayan kumquats (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source presents no opportunities matching this specific code's scope.

The recent opportunities on file reveal that state and local governments are soliciting broadly across shelf-stable food products — canned fruits (applesauce), dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies — through school districts, county boards of education, departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and county purchasing offices across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office (weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants, proposals due August 24, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections (ITB for canned applesauce, approximately 4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District (RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ (IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic areas, response due May 4, 2026). However, none of these solicitations reference Malayan kumquats—canned or otherwise. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears misaligned with the actual food procurement patterns state and local entities are pursuing.
