UNSPSC 50555319: Canned or jarred non GMO elegant lady peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO elegant 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 50555319 Canned or jarred non-GMO elegant lady peaches is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products procured by state and local food-service operations. State and local governments under this code buy branded or equivalent canned and jarred fruit items — primarily applesauce, peaches, and mixed dried-fruit products — for distribution through institutional food-service networks including correctional facilities, veterans' homes, state-supported living centers, school districts, senior services programs, and nutrition centers. Solicitations emphasize compliance with USDA commodity and FDA food safety standards, specific packaging and shelf-life requirements (typically one year minimum), and firm fixed pricing on a per-case or per-unit basis. Procurement bodies posting under this code include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for TDCJ), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and special institutional agencies (state correctional and mental-health facilities).

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with solicitations from Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned proteins and vegetables) due October 19, 2026, under IWQ 140229; the Oregon Department of Corrections' two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (1,904 cases in May 2026 due June 2, and 4,760 cases in July 2026 due July 31) with historical pricing around $21.83 per case and a 10% Oregon-goods preference; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's recurring quarterly brand-specific and brand-or-equal food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with proposals due August 24, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million. School-district procurement also appears, including Austin ISD's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026) and Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce including multiple fruit varieties (due June 26, 2026). Buy American requirements under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (minimum 51% domestic content for processed products) and state preferences appear consistently across education and corrections solicitations.
