UNSPSC 50554941: Canned or jarred non GMO royal glo nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO royal glo 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 50554941 Canned or jarred non-GMO royal glo nectarines is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable canned fruit products purchased by state and local institutions for food service operations, though recent solicitations tagged to this code show minimal specificity to the royal glo nectarine item itself and instead reflect broader canned and jarred fruit procurement across school districts, county social services, state correctional and veterans facilities, and state health agencies. State and local buyers under this code span county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), municipal school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), county social services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, State of Georgia), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The actual work being procured includes canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections, May–June 2026), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin ISD, July 2026), and mixed shelf-stable food products including canned fruits as components of broader food-service line items for institutional feeding programs. Issuing bodies repeat across quarters and fiscal years—the State of Illinois and the State of Texas Health and Human Services Commission each appear multiple times in the recent record with recurring weekly or quarterly food-service procurements.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida region), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut based on recent opportunity postings. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (response deadline July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually (response deadline July 13, 2026), the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple fruit and vegetable line items including apples and berries (response deadline June 26, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across 382 line items to TDCJ warehouse locations (response deadline extended to May 4, 2026). State and local purchasing offices employ IFB, RFP, and informal quote (IWQ) methods. Oregon offers a 5 percent preference for Oregon-processed goods and a 5 percent preference for resident bidders; Georgia applies Buy American domestic-content thresholds; Texas allows HUB subcontracting plans where applicable; and Connecticut applies MBE/CBE certifications. Most solicitations require firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with USDA grade standards and FDA food-safety regulations, with delivery windows ranging from 45 to 72 hours for weekly orders and longer lead times for consolidated quarterly or annual contracts.
