UNSPSC 50554935: Canned or jarred non GMO red diamond nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO red diamond 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 50554935 Canned or jarred non GMO red diamond nectarines (Commodity) describes preserved stone fruit products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service and nutrition programs. Recent opportunities show this code capturing general shelf-stable fruit purchasing by departments of education, corrections, health and human services, and county nutrition services—often as one line item within larger food-commodity or fresh-produce solicitations rather than as standalone nectarine-specific awards. The issuing bodies span state purchasing divisions on behalf of institutional facilities (correctional institutions, state hospitals, supported living centers, veterans' homes), county school nutrition programs, and municipal school districts. Food service departments use canned and jarred fruit to meet consistent supply needs for inmate meals, student nutrition, and resident dietary programs where shelf stability and portability matter more than fresh product.

Activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent opportunities posted by the State of Illinois (multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, due June through August 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections (canned applesauce ITBs, May and July 2026, with 5% state-preference provisions), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia (October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned fruit), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (June 2026 fresh produce bid with over 200 line items), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (May and June 2026 IFBs for supplemental food and consumables statewide). The Austin Independent School District posted an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps in June 2026. Recent pricing context shows canned applesauce at approximately $21.84–$21.83 per case (Oregon ODOC historical awards to Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner, 2026). Most opportunities follow ITB or IFB methods with Buy American provisions, firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery terms, and contract periods of one to three years with optional renewals; pre-bid Q&A cycles and addenda are standard.
