UNSPSC 50554201: Canned or jarred non GMO indian sweet limes

The variety of non GMO limes known as non GMO indian sweet limes 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 50554201 Canned or jarred non-GMO Indian sweet limes is a Commodity code that does not map to any recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers, cafeteria food products for corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and general food service supplies — none of which involve Indian sweet limes or products explicitly matching the code's narrow scope. State and local jurisdictions are actively soliciting shelf-stable food products under broader food-service classifications, but the specific commodity named in this code does not appear in the representative recent opportunities.

The issuing bodies soliciting food products across the recent opportunities include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia Department, State of Connecticut), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Gwinnett County), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Bridgeport Board of Education), and institutional food-service operations supporting corrections, veterans homes, and state supported living centers. Geographic spread extends across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, and multi-state regional service areas. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing an RFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with delivery by December 7, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants, due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem within 60 days of order (due July 31, 2026); and Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for delivery to central warehouse (due July 16, 2026). The code shows limited relevance to current state and local procurement patterns.
