UNSPSC 50554950: Canned or jarred non GMO summer brite nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO summer brite 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 50554950 Canned or jarred non-GMO summer brite nectarines is a Commodity code that covers preserved stone fruit products purchased by state and local governments primarily for institutional food service operations serving corrections facilities, schools, senior centers, and state-supported living centers. State and local buyers under this code procure canned fruit products as shelf-stable components of bulk food orders, typically seeking USDA-compliant goods packed in juice, water, or light syrup with firm, fixed unit pricing and FOB destination delivery. The issuing bodies include state departments (corrections, health and human services), county boards of education, city school districts, county government purchasing offices, and specialized state facilities, with solicitations issued as IFBs, RFQs, and RFPs depending on the jurisdiction and contract structure.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900 and 4,760 cases respectively) with response dates in June and July 2026, applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes on October 13, 2026 (due October 19) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned items as part of a broader procurement for the Department of Community Services. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumable products in May 2026 covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education nutrition procurement (June 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (June 2026) both included fresh and processed fruit items within broader produce and commodity solicitations. Canned fruit procurement under this code remains steady across institutional food service, with unit pricing typically evaluated per case or ounce and awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or best-value determinations.
