UNSPSC 50554951: Canned or jarred non GMO summer diamond nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO summer 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 50554951 Canned or jarred non-GMO summer diamond nectarines is a Commodity code that in practice covers a broader range of shelf-stable preserved fruit products — canned and jarred fruits including applesauce, nectarines, and mixed-fruit items — procured by state agencies, county governments, school districts, and institutional food service operations for cafeteria, senior services, corrections, and state-supported living-center feeding programs. State and local buyers under this code source competitively for fixed quantities of USDA-compliant canned fruit, with pricing quoted on a per-unit or per-case basis and awards commonly made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Issuing bodies span state corrections and health-and-human-services departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education and nutrition services (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), municipal education agencies (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and state veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). No single buyer dominates the recent activity; procurement is distributed across multiple states and agency types.

Recent opportunities show strong activity across the South and West, with Oregon Department of Corrections issuing two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, each spanning multiple truckloads at historical pricing near $21.84 per case), Texas HHSC procuring supplemental food and consumables including canned fruits statewide (HHS0016792V2, with a three-year potential value of $4,500,000), Georgia issuing a broad food-supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026), and Gwinnett County requesting approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned goods (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026). Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy has posted multiple quarterly food-order RFPs (27497DVAQUINCB52820 and 27497DVAQUINCB53751–53752) with brand-specific and brand-or-equal options. Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) appear in school and institutional nutrition procurements; Oregon applies a combined 10 percent local preference (5 percent for Oregon-processed goods, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders). Delivery is commonly FOB Destination with prepaid transportation, and contract terms typically run one to three years with optional renewals.
