UNSPSC 50554955: Canned or jarred non GMO zee fire nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO zee fire 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 50554955 Canned or jarred non-GMO Zee Fire nectarines (Commodity) names a specific packaged fruit product, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent solicitation focused on the exact product — the opportunities on file involve broader food supply contracts where canned or jarred nectarines appear as one line item among dozens or hundreds of shelf-stable or fresh produce offerings. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items spanning peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables; Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps in July 2026; and the State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy has issued multiple weekly food-order RFPs since June 2026 on brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and the Oregon Department of Corrections have all issued broader food and commodity procurements touching produce and canned goods. Issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments, city nutrition centers, and state correctional and health-service facilities. The code captures demand from institutional food service operations — schools, corrections, veterans homes, and senior services — but appears underutilized or misclassified; most opportunities reference this code indirectly or list it as one component of multi-category buys rather than leading with nectarines specifically.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut, with Georgia and Texas showing the heaviest recent posting volume across county and state agencies. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted PE77023NONST2027000000782 on October 13, 2026, with quotes due October 19, 2026, for food items including shelf-stable products delivered to Gwinnett Senior Services Center; Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (a close fruit-preservation analog) with bids due July 31, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumables supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center and Department of State Health Services, with bids due July 13, 2026, at a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million. The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF on behalf of TDCJ, posted May 4, 2026, covered approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic regions. Most solicitations are IFB or IWQ notices (informal written quotes), use firm fixed pricing per unit, require FOB Destination delivery, and impose Buy American or domestic-content thresholds where school lunch or federal funding applies. No single vendor or repeat buyer dominates, but institutional food service procurement — particularly corrections, education, and health services — drives regular activity under this and adjacent commodity codes.
