UNSPSC 50554108: Canned or jarred non GMO volkamer lemons

The variety of non GMO lemons known as non GMO volkamer 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 50554108 Canned or jarred non-GMO Volkamer lemons (Commodity tier) does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity in the source material. The twelve opportunities posted between February and July 2026 soliciting food products for school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and other state entities span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, grocery staples, and supplemental food and consumable products for institutional food service—none of which are canned or jarred Volkamer lemons or citrus products matching the code's narrow scope.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Fairfax County, Dallas ISD, Douglas County, Hancock County), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, with scattered activity in Illinois and Michigan. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 response deadline) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at approximately $21.84 per case delivered to Salem; the Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 (July 16, 2026 deadline) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (July 13, 2026 deadline) for food and consumable products with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million. The code shows no recent relevant activity in the state and local market captured by this dataset.
