UNSPSC 50554101: Canned or jarred non GMO baboon lemons

The variety of non GMO lemons known as non GMO baboon lemons 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 50554101 Canned or jarred non-GMO baboon lemons (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—canned or jarred specialty citrus—bears no relation to the thirteen recent opportunities posted under this classification, which solicited canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service supply spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and consumables for corrections facilities, schools, and health and human services agencies. The mismatch between code name and actual procurement scope is complete and categorical.

State and local issuing bodies tagging opportunities under this code include the Oregon Department of Corrections, school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Fairfax County), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the City of Bridgeport, and the Dallas Independent School District. School nutrition programs dominate the recent posting volume, with at least nine of the thirteen opportunities serving K-12 food service. Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, Virginia, and Colorado. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (closing July 31, 2026), the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple varieties (closing June 26, 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 historical contract value of $1.5 million annually (closing July 11, 2026). Given the complete disconnect between the code's stated commodity and the work actually being procured, firms should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
