UNSPSC 50554925: Canned or jarred non GMO grand pearl nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO grand 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 50554925 Canned or jarred non-GMO grand pearl nectarines is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable fruit products that state and local government agencies procure for food service operations, senior nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and school cafeterias. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring canned and jarred nectarines as part of broader food commodity purchases rather than as standalone line items; the code appears primarily within RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs that bundle produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods for institutional meal service. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, school districts, and state and local nutrition centers. The mix of buyers reflects the institutional food-service universe—state prison and veterans home food operations represent significant recurring volume, while county and municipal purchasing offices manage school and senior-center nutrition procurement.
