UNSPSC 50554946: Canned or jarred non GMO snowqueen nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO snowqueen 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 50554946 Canned or jarred non-GMO snowqueen nectarines is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the recent state and local solicitations attributed to it. The code describes a narrow product—shelf-stable nectarines in specific packaging and varietal form—yet the recent opportunities tagged to it span broad food service procurement across multiple product categories, from fresh produce and canned applesauce to frozen entrees, dairy, and condiments. State and local governments do purchase shelf-stable fruit products through this code family, but the recent posting activity shows little focused demand for the specific commodity named. The issuing bodies include counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), state departments (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via Comptroller's office), city education boards (Bridgeport Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education), and facility operators (Illinois Veterans Homes, HHSC state-supported living centers). Food service procurement under these codes appears routine and ongoing, driven by cafeteria and institutional nutrition programs rather than specialized product sourcing.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest: Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), Illinois (State of Illinois), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables, due October 19, 2026 (IFB format); State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for September through December 2026, due August 24, 2026 (RFP, brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants); Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, delivered in five truck loads to Salem, due July 31, 2026, at a historical price of $21.84 per case; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables for state-supported living centers with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026; and Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026. No recent opportunities plainly match the code's stated nectarine specification.
