UNSPSC 50554922: Canned or jarred non GMO flat type nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO flat type 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 50554922 Canned or jarred non-GMO flat type nectarines is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code's nominal scope specifies a narrow product category—canned or jarred nectarines meeting non-GMO standards—yet the recent opportunities block shows purchasing focused on broader fresh produce contracts, canned fruit products (applesauce, pears), dried fruit items, and comprehensive food service supply across multiple product lines. State and local buyers are procuring these goods through school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education), corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipalities (Bridgeport Board of Education). The issuing bodies span states including Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs and institutional food service representing the dominant buyer type.

Representative recent opportunities reveal little procurement activity aligned to the code's specific product definition. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) seeking 4,760 cases of canned applesauce—a related but distinct canned fruit product—with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a combined 10% Oregon-goods and Oregon-vendor preference available. The Texas HHSC issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products covering approximately $1.5 million in prior-period spend across multiple product categories including canned goods, but without specific nectarine line items detailed in the summary. Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026) solicits dried fruit bars and apple crisps—processed fruit rather than canned nectarines. The code shows little recent relevant procurement activity; buyers are acquiring canned fruit applesauce, fresh produce staples, and broad institutional food supply bundles rather than the specific commodity this code nominally represents.
