UNSPSC 50555210: Canned or jarred non GMO wing-stemmed passion flower

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO wing-stemmed passion flower 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 50555210 Canned or jarred non-GMO wing-stemmed passion flower (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no opportunities for this specific product. The recent opportunities tagged under this code instead cover mainstream shelf-stable food procurement — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, general food commodities, and cafeteria supplies for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, veterans' homes, and health and human services centers. The code's nominal scope (a specialized botanical product) does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying under it, which is broad institutional food service supply.

Recent activity shows issuing bodies soliciting food products across Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Board of Education, State of Georgia), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, contract value up to $4.5 million over three years, due March 19, 2026), the Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning 200-plus line items (due June 26, 2026). Buyers span state departments, school districts, counties, and special-purpose facilities. The code shows activity but mismatches the nominal product scope with actual procurement.
