UNSPSC 50555315: Canned or jarred non GMO diamond princess peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO diamond 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 50555315 Canned or jarred non-GMO diamond princess peaches, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products procured by state and local food service operations—schools, correctional facilities, senior centers, state supported living centers, and municipal agencies. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying canned peaches, applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed fresh and processed fruit as part of broader food-service procurement campaigns under IFB, RFP, and informal quote processes. The issuing bodies span county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), municipal school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state-level central procurement offices. Most solicitations bundle this commodity with dozens or hundreds of other shelf-stable and fresh food items rather than procuring peaches in isolation; when peaches or applesauce are named as discrete line items, they typically account for a small portion of a larger food-services contract.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Upper Midwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two applesauce ITBs (May and July 2026) with historical awards around $21.83 per case; Texas procurements under HHSC and TDCJ span multiple warehouse regions statewide; Gwinnett County in Georgia, Hancock County in Georgia, and the State of Georgia have posted food procurement RFQs and IFBs since May 2026; and Illinois posted multiple quarterly food orders for the Veterans Home at Quincy (June through August 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and Austin ISD in Texas round out geographic distribution. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026) and the Texas HHSC procurement for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (bid due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years). Most contracts require FOB Destination delivery, firm pricing for the contract term, compliance with Buy American and USDA commodity specifications, commercial general liability insurance, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value basis depending on jurisdiction and contract type.
