UNSPSC 50554901: Canned or jarred non GMO april glo nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO april glo nectarines 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 50554901 Canned or jarred non-GMO April Glo nectarines, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span a much broader range of food-service procurement — canned and fresh produce, dried fruit bars, proteins, dairy, bakery items, and kitchen supplies — rather than a single branded nectarine product. State and local governments are using this code to classify general food-commodity solicitations for school districts, correctional facilities, senior services, state veterans homes, and health and human services institutions. The issuing bodies include county boards of education, state corrections and health departments, city nutrition centers, and independent school districts across multiple states, suggesting the code functions as a catch-all taxonomy entry for shelf-stable and fresh food procurement rather than a marker for nectarines specifically.

Activity under the code concentrates in the South and West, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, Texas HHSC, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (State Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (canned proteins, vegetables, sauces, peanut butter, jelly) with quotes due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026 at $21.84 per case historical pricing; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Most solicitations use FOB destination delivery terms, firm fixed pricing, and award on lowest responsive-responsible-bidder or best-value basis, with contract periods typically running one to three years with optional renewals.
