UNSPSC 50554917: Canned or jarred non GMO fairlane nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO fairlane 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 50554917, Canned or jarred non-GMO Fairlane nectarines, is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broader set of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products — including applesauce, fruit bars, and fresh produce — procured by state and local governments for food service operations at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, senior services, veterans homes, and related institutions. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Gwinnett County), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and state health agencies (Texas Department of State Health Services). The work involves procurement of ready-to-eat or minimally prepared canned fruits, dried fruit products, and fresh produce delivered on firm-fixed pricing to central distribution points or facility locations, typically with FOB destination delivery requirements and compliance with USDA commodity specifications, Buy American provisions, and food-safety standards.

Recent opportunities reflect activity across the Southeast, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,904 cases in June 2026 and 4,760 cases in July 2026, both with 5% Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including canned fruits across state hospitals and living centers (maximum value $4.5 million over three years, IFB HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026), the State of Illinois issued quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, June and August 2026), Gwinnett County requested approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including canned vegetables and proteins (IFB PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year spanning over 200 line items (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Austin Independent School District requested dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). The code shows consistent procurement activity but no recent solicitations specifically for canned nectarines; opportunities are dominated by applesauce, mixed canned fruits, dried fruit products, and fresh produce for institutional food service.
