UNSPSC 50555312: Canned or jarred non GMO crimson lady peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO crimson 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 50555312 Canned or jarred non GMO crimson lady peaches is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, though state and local solicitations under this code more broadly encompass general canned produce, fresh fruit, and dried fruit items for schools, senior services, correctional facilities, and state health facilities. Recent opportunities show school districts, county boards of education, state corrections departments, and state health agencies sourcing canned fruit applesauce, fresh produce assortments, dried fruit bars, and general food commodities as part of their institutional meal programs. The work is straightforward commodity purchasing: vendors quote unit pricing on fixed specifications, accept FOB destination or prepaid freight terms, maintain food-safety compliance and liability insurance, and deliver within narrow timeframes (often 45 to 60 days on standing orders or within 72 hours of order receipt for emergency stock). Issuing bodies include county boards of education and county services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and independent school districts (Austin Independent School District). Contract awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on per-unit pricing; some jurisdictions split awards across multiple vendors or line items.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest—Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), Texas (Austin ISD, TDCJ, HHSC), Oregon (Department of Corrections)—with additional activity in Illinois (state veterans' home), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and other states. Recent representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's IFB for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items across 35 line items with a response deadline of October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at an estimated $21.84 per case (historical price, June 2026) with a bid closing of July 31, 2026; Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical volume of $1.5 million annually and proposals due July 11, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. Buy American preferences apply in school and certain state procurements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products required by federal school lunch rules). Oregon applies a 10 percent combined local-preference credit (5 percent for Oregon-processed goods, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered vendors). Delivery compliance, USDA grade certification, HACCP or food-safety plans, and three to five years of record retention are standard requirements.
