UNSPSC 50555341: Canned or jarred non GMO queencrest peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO queencrest 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 50555341 Canned or jarred non-GMO queencrest peaches is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under this taxonomy number. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and main-line food service distribution—none of which are queencrest peaches or peach products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent procurement activity indicates either systematic miscoding at the issuing jurisdictions or that this code has drifted from its original intent within state and local procurement databases.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code or its related taxonomy span school districts, departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and independent school systems across multiple states. Oregon Department of Corrections and school nutrition programs in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Connecticut represent recent activity. Geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut, with school nutrition procurement accounting for the majority of recent volume. Representative opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (canned fruit applesauce, bids due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumable products for state supported living centers, due July 13, 2026). The Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for one geographic area signals substantial volume opportunity within school nutrition procurement, though the wide geographic and product-category scatter and the absence of peach-specific solicitations suggest this code warrants reassessment of tagging practices or clarification from the issuing jurisdictions.
