UNSPSC 50555038: Canned or jarred non GMO sanguine oranges

The variety of non GMO oranges known as non GMO sanguine 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 50555038 Canned or jarred non-GMO sanguine oranges is a Commodity code; recent state and local activity shows that this code is being used to tag food-service procurement for institutional facilities—senior services, state veterans homes, corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and state supported living centers—but the opportunities in the recent block do not center on sanguine oranges specifically. Instead, issuers are soliciting canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit products, and broad-based food and consumable lines that fall within the wider fresh and processed food families. The code's nominal scope—canned or jarred sanguine oranges as a discrete commodity—does not align with the actual procurement activity being tagged under it in the state and local market right now.

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and canned vegetables, due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy across multiple quarters in 2026 (brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications), and the Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate invitations to bid (ITB) for canned fruit applesauce—one in July 2026 (4,760 cases) and one in May 2026 (1,904 cases)—both delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem with a historical price around $21.82 per case and a 5% Oregon-goods preference plus 5% resident-bidder preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services issued a $4.5 million maximum-value IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for school nutrition spanning July 2026 through June 2027. The code shows activity across state departments, county school systems, state corrections agencies, and county senior services, concentrated in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Texas, but the procurement mix does not substantiate sustained demand for sanguine oranges as a product line.
