UNSPSC 50554407: Canned or jarred non GMO fallglo oranges

The variety of non GMO mandarin oranges and tangerines known as non GMO fallglo 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 50554407 Canned or jarred non GMO fallglo oranges is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit products—primarily applesauce, canned fruit, and supplemental food items—for institutional food service, correctional facilities, schools, and state-supported living centers. The recent opportunities block shows little activity directly matching the code's nominal scope; instead, solicitations tagged to this code predominantly seek broader canned fruit, applesauce, and general food commodity supplies. State and local buyers issuing under this code include correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Dallas Independent School District), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), and specialized institutional food service operations (City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, Douglas County School System). The code shows substantial fragmentation across issuing bodies and jurisdictions, with no single repeat buyer driving consolidated demand.

Geographic activity spans Texas (Houston, El Paso, Austin, Dallas), Oregon (Salem), Georgia (Hinesville, Sparta, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Illinois (statewide), and Missouri (St. Louis County), indicating broad multistate procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery due July 31, 2026, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million and proposals due July 13, 2026, and the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and responses due March 19, 2026. These opportunities typically specify USDA commodity compliance, firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and substantial liability insurance requirements ($1 million to $2 million). The code sees active procurement year-round with responses due across multiple quarters, though the most recent concentrated posting activity occurred in June 2026.
