UNSPSC 50554401: Canned or jarred non GMO clauselinas oranges

The variety of non GMO mandarin oranges and tangerines known as non GMO clauselinas oranges 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 50554401 Canned or jarred non-GMO clementine oranges is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it overwhelmingly consist of canned and jarred non-citrus fruit products, fresh produce, and broader food-service supply contracts that do not match the code's nominal scope. State and local governments are actively procuring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce bundles spanning apples through citrus to specialty items, eggs, and full-line food-service supplies through school districts, departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and nutrition programs. The issuing-body mix includes school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Dallas ISD), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), and local governments (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). These jurisdictions use ITB, IFB, and RFP notice types with firm fixed pricing structures and multi-month or annual contract terms.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (Douglas County cooperative, Liberty County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, State of Georgia), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with secondary activity in Illinois (Chief Procurement Office), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, approximately 4,760 cases at historical pricing of $21.84 per case), Austin ISD RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026), Texas HHSC IFB for supplemental food and consumables including 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, prior-period value $1.5 million), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity matching canned citrus fruit; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the food-service procurement activity tagged under it is material.
