UNSPSC 50555303: Canned or jarred non GMO august lady peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO august lady peaches 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 50555303 Canned or jarred non-GMO august lady peaches (Commodity) describes shelf-stable canned fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations across schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show that buyers are acquiring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broader food commodity baskets rather than exclusively peaches—indicating that agencies tag this code broadly to cover canned and preserved fruit lines. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county boards of commissioners, city school districts, and municipal education boards. The State of Illinois appears multiple times as a repeat buyer of weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with separate brand-specific and brand-or-equal solicitations issued in recent months.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two applesauce ITBs (May 2026 and July 2026, both due in early June and late July respectively) with FOB destination delivery to its Central Distribution Center in Salem and a historical price point around $21.83 per case; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce for school nutrition in June 2026 with delivery to three school sites; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items with a response deadline of October 19, 2026 and delivery to Gwinnett Senior Services Center; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple food and consumable product IFBs for state-supported living centers and state hospitals statewide. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and Austin Independent School District round out geographic coverage, with most opportunities closed or approaching closure as of mid-October 2026.
