UNSPSC 50554907: Canned or jarred non GMO august fire nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO august fire 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 50554907 Canned or jarred non-GMO nectarines is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes preserved fruit in sealed containers, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification consistently solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service supply contracts — none of which match nectarine products specifically. State and local governments do buy canned and jarred fruit through food-service procurement, but the specific tagged opportunities do not reflect nectarine purchasing; instead they reflect institutional food-service purchasing for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and health and human services facilities. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System, Dallas Independent School District), state departments of corrections and health services (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipal and county nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport, various county school boards). The geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with recent activity concentrated in school nutrition procurement across the Southeast and institutional food service statewide contracts in Texas.

Representative recent opportunities show the actual scope of purchasing under this code classification. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (not nectarines) due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon goods and resident-bidder preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products including canned goods to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 11, 2026, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million and evaluation based on best value rather than lowest price alone. The Douglas County School System issued RFP 26-003 on January 21, 2026, for food supply and distribution services to 32 schools with approximately $9 million in annual expenditure, due February 18, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for over 200 fresh-produce line items (not canned nectarines) due June 26, 2026, with Buy American commodity content requirements and delivery to three school locations. The code shows poor fit with actual nectarine procurement; business development professionals should verify whether nectarine products are being acquired under a different UNSPSC classification or treat this code as inactive for their product category.
