UNSPSC 50555325: Canned or jarred non GMO flat type peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO flat type 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 50555325 Canned or jarred non-GMO flat type peaches is a Commodity code that covers canned fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show limited activity tied specifically to peaches and instead reflect broader canned and fresh fruit procurement across education and correctional facilities. School districts, state agencies, and local corrections departments dominate purchasing under related fruit commodity codes, with representative recent activity including the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple fruit categories (due June 26, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including fruits (due July 13, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with an estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026). Work solicited under this code includes USDA-compliant canned fruits packed in juice, water, or light syrup; fresh produce delivered to school nutrition programs and state facilities; and consumable food products meeting federal food safety standards and nutritional requirements aligned with school lunch program guidelines.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Upper Midwest, with recent opportunities in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Alabama involving school districts, state corrections departments, state health agencies, and independent school districts. Oregon's Department of Corrections has posted multiple canned fruit solicitations (two applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026), while Texas school districts and state agencies (HHSC, TDCJ) have solicited food products on rolling schedules tied to school years and fiscal periods. Issuing bodies mix county school systems (Hancock, Douglas, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham in Georgia; Rockwood in Missouri; Liberty in Georgia; Austin and Dallas in Texas), state agencies (Oregon DOC, Texas HHSC/DSHS, Illinois CPO), and municipal school boards (City of Bridgeport). Buy American and domestic-content preferences appear in multiple solicitations (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut), with responses typically due 30–60 days from posting and contracts running July-to-June school years or state fiscal years. Canned fruit commodity codes show moderate activity when aggregated across institutional food service; however, peaches specifically appear rarely in recent postings, with applesauce, fresh produce, and mixed fruit/vegetable lots dominating actual solicitation scope.
