UNSPSC 50555033: Canned or jarred non GMO pera oranges

The variety of non GMO oranges known as non GMO pera oranges 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 50555033 Canned or jarred non-GMO pera oranges is a Commodity code with little decision-relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes specialty citrus products, but the recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations matching that scope. Instead, state and local buyers are posting under this code for unrelated food-service items: the Oregon Department of Corrections bid ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026) seeks 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, not oranges; the Illinois Chief Procurement Office quarterly food order (June 17, 2026) does not specify products; and the Texas HHSC procurement HHS0017449 (July 13, 2026) covers broad food and consumable products for a state supported living center. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual goods being solicited suggests either miscoding of opportunities or minimal real procurement activity under this specific code tier.

School districts, state agencies, and county boards dominate the issuing-body mix across recent food-service procurements in the broader dataset, but none of the opportunities directly linked to UNSPSC 50555033 name pera oranges or comparable specialty citrus products in any form. Geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Georgia, but again, these jurisdictions are buying canned fruit (applesauce), fresh produce, and general food supplies—not the non-GMO pera oranges this code describes. Without substantive recent solicitations actually requesting canned or jarred pera oranges under this code, the opportunity set appears inactive. Vendors targeting this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices are genuinely classifying pera-orange solicitations under UNSPSC 50555033 or whether the code sees minimal use in current purchasing cycles.
