UNSPSC 50554908: Canned or jarred non GMO august pearl nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO august pearl 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 50554908 Canned or jarred non-GMO August pearl nectarines (Commodity) covers shelf-stable canned fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily through school districts, county social services agencies, state correctional and health facilities, and special-purpose institutions. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring canned nectarines, applesauce, and other preserved fruit as components of broader food commodity buys rather than as standalone line items, typically bundled with proteins, vegetables, grains, and other shelf-stable staples for cafeteria operations, nutrition programs, and inmate or resident meals. The code sits within a larger institutional food procurement ecosystem where issuing bodies source dozens to hundreds of line items across multiple food categories in single RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs, with awards frequently made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a per-unit or per-case basis.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and jurisdiction types. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026), seeking approximately 1,900–4,760 cases with historical pricing near $21.80–$21.83 per case and a 10% combined preference for Oregon goods and vendors. Gwinnett County, Georgia sourced food items including canned products under IWQ 140229 (informal written quotes, due October 19, 2026) for the Department of Community Services. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued supplemental food and consumables IFBs (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, with $4.5 million potential over three years; HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering multiple institutional locations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products (304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) across five geographic warehouse areas. Austin Independent School District requested dried fruit products (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026), and Hancock County Schools, Georgia solicited fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). The State of Illinois repeatedly sourced weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (due August 24, 2026, and June 17, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with school districts, state corrections and health agencies, and county social services as primary buyers.
