UNSPSC 50555203: Canned or jarred non GMO crackerjack passion fruit

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO crackerjack passion fruit that has 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 50555203 Canned or jarred non-GMO crackerjack passion fruit is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of canned and jarred fruit products, though recent opportunities show minimal alignment with the code's specific nominal scope—the actual buying spans canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, fresh eggs, and broad-basket food and consumable supplies for correctional facilities, state health agencies, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are heavily concentrated in K–12 school districts and state-level purchasing on behalf of institutional food service operations, including departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, boards of education, and school nutrition services. Several jurisdictions appear multiple times: the Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two canned fruit solicitations (applesauce, February and July 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple statewide food procurement notices spanning state hospitals and supported living centers; and school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia have all solicited fresh produce and grocery items for child nutrition programs, often through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative.

Activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest, with secondary concentration in Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case and a combined 10 percent Oregon goods and resident preference; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items for the 2026–27 school year, due June 26, 2026, with Buy American requirements for 51 percent domestic content in processed products; the City of Bridgeport's IFB for 115 commodity line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products, due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE eligibility; and the Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts in two Georgia areas, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. The code shows active procurement but significant mismatch between its nominal scope (canned or jarred non-GMO crackerjack passion fruit) and what state and local buyers are actually acquiring—institutionalized applesauce, dried and fresh produce, mainstream grocery and food service staples, and commodity supplies rather than specialty fruit products.
