UNSPSC 50555205: Canned or jarred non GMO golden granadilla passion fruit

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO golden granadilla 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 50555205 Canned or jarred non-GMO golden granadilla passion fruit (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity primarily as part of broader shelf-stable food and fresh-produce solicitations for institutional food service, though the code itself does not map cleanly to recent opportunities. The recent opportunities block shows state and local governments purchasing canned and jarred fruit products—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce spanning berries, citrus, and specialty fruits—for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and veterans' homes. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and municipal boards of education. The mix skews toward education (school districts and nutrition centers) and state-run institutional facilities (corrections, health services, veterans' homes), with county government purchasing for senior services also present.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (S2910000017453), with historical award at $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026 (27RFP004); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026 (HHS0017449), with prior historical value of $1.5 million over twelve months; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's brand-or-equal and brand-specific weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy due August 24, 2026 (27497DVAQUINCB53752 and 27497DVAQUINCB53751). The code shows limited direct activity—no recent opportunities explicitly specify golden granadilla passion fruit or similar specialty canned/jarred fruit—but sits within active institutional food-service procurement ladders where shelf-stable and specialty fruit products remain competitive line items.
