UNSPSC 50554957: Canned or jarred non GMO zeegrand nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO zeegrand 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 50554957 Canned or jarred non-GMO zeegrand nectarines is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little to no direct alignment with the nominal product scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly solicit shelf-stable food items, fresh produce, and broad-category food and consumable supplies for schools, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and county government — including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and kitchen supplies. None of the nine opportunities explicitly name canned or jarred nectarines as a line item or focus product. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for TDCJ, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and municipal procurement divisions (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). School districts and state corrections and health agencies appear most frequently in this set.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Southwest — Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (ODOC), and Connecticut (Bridgeport) — with additional activity in Illinois (IVHQ procurement). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces (response due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's RFP for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (response due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (response due July 31, 2026); and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (response due July 16, 2026). The code's tagging does not appear to reflect actual procurement demand for the specific product named.
