UNSPSC 50555336: Canned or jarred non GMO klondike peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO klondike 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 50555336 Canned or jarred non-GMO Klondike peaches is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products procured by state and local governments for food service, nutrition programs, and institutional cafeteria operations. State and local solicitations under this code show a mix of fresh produce, canned proteins, canned vegetables, and specialty food items used to supply correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, senior services centers, and veterans' homes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut). Recent opportunities show that state correctional and institutional food service operations are primary buyers, with school nutrition programs and senior services centers as secondary demand drivers. Canned and jarred fruits, applesauce, dried fruit products, and processed produce feature prominently across recent solicitations, often bundled with broader food commodity procurements rather than as stand-alone line items.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026 (solicitation S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026; solicitation S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), each for approximately 1,900–4,760 cases with firm pricing quoted per case and FOB destination delivery to Salem.

Most solicitations require firm unit pricing, compliance with USDA standards, FOB Destination delivery with transportation prepaid by the contractor, and commercial general liability insurance of $1–2 million.
