UNSPSC 50554928: Canned or jarred non GMO july red nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO july 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 50554928 Canned or jarred non-GMO July red nectarines, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The solicitations tagged under this code span institutional food service procurement for shelf-stable, canned, and fresh produce across a broad range of items — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce for school nutrition programs, and general food and consumables for correctional facilities, state hospitals, senior services, and school districts. While the code nominally describes a single preserved-fruit product line, state and local buying activity under it encompasses multi-line-item food service contracts that bundle proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and miscellaneous staple foods alongside fruit products. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and independent school districts (Austin ISD). County school systems and state institutional food-service operations appear as repeat buyers in the recent posting window.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC El Paso, TDCJ statewide), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Oregon (ODOC). Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with delivery by December 7, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issuing multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal RFPs for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with due dates in August and June 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453, bids due July 31, 2026) with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; and Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004) due July 16, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission also issued a large supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2) covering 210 line items with a maximum three-year potential value of $4.5 million. Buy American provisions (requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) appear in school-district and institutional procurement; Oregon and Illinois offer state-resident and domestically-fabricated-goods preferences where applicable.
