UNSPSC 50555356: Canned or jarred non GMO snow king peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO snow king 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 50555356 Canned or jarred non-GMO snow king peaches is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service—school districts, correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The recent solicitations show that while the code nominally specifies snow king peaches, actual procurement activity under related fruit preservation codes encompasses broader categories of canned and jarred fruits including applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed fruit products. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county senior services divisions, and independent school districts. The work entails competitive bidding on firm, fixed pricing for multi-case orders with strict USDA commodity specifications, delivery-within-days requirements, and FOB destination terms including inside delivery or palletized truck-load fulfillment.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent opportunities in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned proteins and vegetables) due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce, approximately 4,760 cases across five truckloads due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items with a maximum three-year potential value of $4.5 million and responses due March 19, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's extended IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations, approximately 382 line items with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026. Oregon and Texas show repeat activity in canned fruit procurement. Buy American and domestic content requirements appear consistently; Oregon applies additional preferences for in-state fabrication and headquartering. Insurance, prevailing wage compliance, and three-year record retention are standard contractual demands across issuers.
