UNSPSC 50555332: Canned or jarred non GMO jersey queen peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO jersey queen 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 50555332, Canned or jarred non-GMO Jersey Queen peaches (Commodity), represents narrow, product-specific food procurement by state and local institutions—primarily corrections departments, schools, county social services, and state veterans facilities. The recent solicitations show that this code drives procurement of shelf-stable canned fruit products as part of larger food-service supply contracts. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and commissioners' offices, and municipal school districts, each treating canned fruit as a line item within broad food-and-consumables solicitations rather than as a standalone procurement. The mix reflects institutional food service operations—prisons, veterans homes, school cafeterias, and senior services centers—where canned fruit is stocked alongside proteins, vegetables, and staple ingredients. Delivery is typically to central distribution points with advance orders placed through electronic systems, and vendors must meet USDA commodity standards, carry general liability insurance, and provide certifications of compliance with federal food-safety regulations.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (Solicitation S2910000017453 in July 2026 and S2910000016975 in May 2026), each covering roughly 1,900–4,760 cases delivered to Salem, with responses due within weeks and a historical price point of approximately $21.83 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a broad supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million but no guarantee of volume. Gwinnett County, Georgia requested informal quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned products for its Department of Community Services (IFB PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois has issued multiple quarterly food-service ITBs for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal options (responses due August 24, 2026 and June 17, 2026). Larger school-district and state institutional food contracts tend to embed canned fruit within 100–200-line-item commodity solicitations rather than isolating single SKUs, making opportunities under this code concentrated but episodic.
