UNSPSC 50555330: Canned or jarred non GMO ice princess peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO ice 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 50555330 Canned or jarred non-GMO ice princess peaches is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, including peaches and broader fruit inventories such as applesauce. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local governments purchase these items primarily for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and veterans' homes. The work encompasses single-item procurements as well as bundled food-commodity RFQs, RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs that may name peaches or applesauce alongside dozens of other canned proteins, vegetables, and shelf-stable staples. Issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County Georgia, Gwinnett County Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD Texas), and city procurement offices (Bridgeport Connecticut). State health and human services agencies also solicit under this code for residential facilities and state hospitals. Delivery terms are typically FOB Destination with all transportation prepaid; contracts often run one to three years with optional renewals, and pricing is quoted per unit (per case, per ounce, or per pound). Buy American provisions apply in school nutrition contexts, and several jurisdictions apply regional or in-state product preferences.

Recent activity spans multiple states, with the most visible recent procurement concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an RFQ on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted two RFPs in August 2026 for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, one brand-specific and one brand-or-equal, both due August 24, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB in July 2026 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (estimated historical price $21.84 per case), with bids due July 31, 2026, and a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumable products in May 2026 under IFB HHS0016792v2 with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years and an anticipated start date at award. Austin Independent School District posted an RFP in June 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026, under Texas Education Code Section 44.031(3). The code shows steady institutional demand across school nutrition, corrections, state residential facilities, and senior services with no geographic concentration; activity is active as of mid-October 2026.
