UNSPSC 50555310: Canned or jarred non GMO country sweet peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO country sweet 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 50555310 Canned or jarred non-GMO country sweet peaches is a Commodity code that names a specific preserved-fruit product, but recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing much broader food-service procurement activity. State and local governments soliciting under this code are acquiring shelf-stable food products for institutional food service — school nutrition, corrections facilities, state supported living centers, senior services, and board of education cafeterias. The work spans canned fruits and vegetables, applesauce, dried fruit products, and fresh produce for multi-location delivery. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller), county departments of community services (Gwinnett County), and independent school districts (Austin ISD).

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest. Within the past five months, the Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (June 2026 and May 2026, both due within two weeks of posting), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia sought fresh produce and apple crisps (IFB due June 26, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables with quotes due October 19, 2026. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple quarterly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (three brand-specific and brand-or-equal procurements between June and August 2026, all due within one week of posting). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a contract value ceiling of $4.5 million over three years (bid due March 19, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas (response extended to May 4, 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (June 26, 2026). Geographic spread spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut; no recent opportunities appear in the broader dataset outside these states and jurisdictions.
