UNSPSC 50555304: Canned or jarred non GMO autumn flame peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO autumn flame 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 50555304 Canned or jarred non-GMO autumn flame peaches, a Commodity code, maps narrowly to a specific peach product variant, yet recent state and local solicitations under the code frame the work much more broadly as shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products — applesauce, mixed canned fruits, and general fruit supplies — procured to stock food service operations at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, senior services centers, and board of education nutrition programs. The sourcing pattern reflects institutional food procurement at scale, where state departments, county boards of education, school districts, and municipal nutrition centers issue informal written quotes, invitations for bid, and RFPs to secure case quantities of shelf-stable fruit and related food items at firm fixed unit pricing, often with Buy American content requirements and brand-or-equal substitution clauses. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), county and municipal government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Connecticut), school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), and specialized institutional vendors serving corrections and state residential facilities.

The code sees active recent procurement across the Southeast, Pacific Northwest, Texas, and Illinois.
