UNSPSC 50554909: Canned or jarred non GMO august red nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO august red 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 50554909 Canned or jarred non-GMO August red nectarines is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned fruit products — specifically applesauce, pears, and other preserved fruit items packed in juice, water, or light syrup for institutional food service. Recent opportunities show this code capturing a much broader class of canned and fresh fruit procurement than its nominal title suggests; the opportunities posted in the source reflect solicitations for canned applesauce, fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, citrus, melons), dried fruit bars, and fresh eggs alongside the canned fruit category. School districts and state agencies dominate the issuing bodies, with the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Austin ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education) appearing repeatedly. The code shows substantial activity across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs and state institutional food service as the primary end users.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce under ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and Oregon goods and Oregon-resident bidder preferences totaling 10 percent; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items including canned goods, frozen foods, and consumables) with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens with a July 1, 2026, contract start and firm pricing for 365 days. Opportunity volume remains steady through mid-2026 across multiple states, with school districts and correctional/health agencies conducting most solicitations through IFB, RFP, and ITB notice types. Buy American requirements appear standard across school district procurements, and many solicitations specify no artificial colors, flavors, or high-fructose corn syrup in accordance with state nutritional standards.
