UNSPSC 50555313: Canned or jarred non GMO crown princess peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO crown princess 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 50555313 Canned or jarred non-GMO crown princess peaches, a Commodity code, captures shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products that state and local food service operations purchase for institutional kitchens, senior services, school nutrition programs, and state facility meal service. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying canned applesauce, canned fruit, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce alongside this code's nominal scope—institutional food procurement systems often tag broad food commodity bundles with single codes even when line items span multiple produce varieties and processing methods. The issuing bodies are diverse: county boards of education and school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), county senior services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), state departments and veterans facilities (State of Illinois food service at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), city education nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state criminal justice facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These are primarily institutional food service buyers—school nutrition programs, state hospitals and supported living centers, corrections facilities, and senior services—rather than retail or commercial food operations.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 RFP for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem (due July 31, 2026, with historical award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case); Austin Independent School District's July 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's March 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals statewide with a maximum potential contract value of $4,500,000 over three years (bid due March 19, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products (due June 26, 2026). Most solicitations require firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA standards and the Buy American Provision in school nutrition contexts, FOB destination delivery to institutional sites, and three-year record retention. Vendors must carry $1 million in general commercial liability insurance, maintain HACCP plans or equivalent food safety certifications, and certify non-collusion and debarment status.
