UNSPSC 50554641: Canned or jarred non GMO pineapple melons

The variety of non GMO melons known as non GMO pineapple melons 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 50554641 Canned or jarred non-GMO pineapple melons (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The eleven recent opportunities posted between February and July 2026 reflect solicitations for broad food service supplies—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and multi-category grocery and commodity products—rather than pineapple melons specifically. School districts and state health and corrections agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with prominent repeat buyers including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (two opportunities spanning supplemental food and consumables statewide), the Oregon Department of Corrections (two canned fruit applesauce ITBs), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (two grocery procurements), and Douglas County School System in Georgia (two RFPs for fresh produce and food distribution). The geographic spread is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, with additional activity in Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical value $1.5 million for the prior contract period, due July 13, 2026), the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). The code shows substantial activity volume but the mismatch between the nominal commodity (canned or jarred non-GMO pineapple melons) and actual recent procurements (general food service supplies) suggests either broad tagging by issuing bodies or a code miscalibration in the dataset.
