UNSPSC 50555346: Canned or jarred non GMO regina peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO regina 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 50555346 Canned or jarred non-GMO regina peaches is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable, packaged peach products procured for institutional food service operations at state agencies, county governments, school districts, and special-purpose facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring canned peaches as line items within broader food-supply contracts rather than as standalone commodities; these purchases support nutrition programs at senior centers, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and veterans' homes. The scope of work spans procurement of properly labeled, new canned fruit in specified case sizes and unit counts, with delivery to centralized warehouses or facility distribution points on FOB destination terms. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county boards of education (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), municipalities (City of Bridgeport), independent school districts (Austin ISD), and state correctional and health facilities. Award is typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on per-unit pricing, with vendors required to meet USDA commodity specifications, maintain minimum commercial liability insurance, and comply with Buy American provisions where applicable.
