UNSPSC 50555326: Canned or jarred non GMO flavorcrest peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO flavorcrest 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 50555326 Canned or jarred non-GMO Flavorcrest peaches (Commodity) names a specific produce item, but state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying shelf-stable food products for institutional food service — including canned fruits, applesauce, vegetables, proteins, and related consumables — rather than peaches exclusively. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies ranging from county boards of education and school districts to state departments of corrections and health and human services agencies, plus municipal nutrition centers. Counties and state agencies dominate the recent activity; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, and the City of Bridgeport appear as repeat or high-value buyers. Work involves procuring multiple cases or truckloads of shelf-stable and refrigerated food items for inmate feeding, senior services, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers, typically on brand-or-equivalent bases with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications and federal Buy American provisions where applicable.

Geographic activity centers in the Southeast (Georgia, Illinois), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Texas, and Connecticut based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (IWQ); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales and a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items with Buy American content requirements. Most contracts require three-year record retention, commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million per occurrence depending on jurisdiction), USDA compliance, and e-procurement platform submissions or email delivery.
