UNSPSC 50555359: Canned or jarred non GMO springcrest peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO springcrest 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 50555359 Canned or jarred non-GMO springcrest peaches is a Commodity code. State and local governments purchase canned and jarred fruit products under this code—predominantly applesauce, pears, and other shelf-stable fruit in compliance with USDA commodity specifications, typically for food service operations at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show demand for products packed in juice, water, or light syrup with minimum one-year shelf life, delivered in bulk cases (40,000+ pounds per truck load) on FOB destination terms with all transportation prepaid. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, multiple Georgia and Texas districts), and county education boards. Repeat buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections, both of which have posted multiple fruit procurement solicitations in recent months.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with additional activity across Illinois, Missouri, Connecticut, and Florida. Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two applesauce ITBs since May 2026 (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales; ITB S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, for 1,904 cases at $21.827 per case). Austin Independent School District posted an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. Texas HHSC issued IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026, for food and consumable products including canned fruit items under NIGP classes for El Paso State Supported Living Center, with historical contract value of $1.5 million. The recent-opportunities block shows no peach-specific solicitations at the Commodity level, though the code sits within broader fruit and canned-goods procurement activity across institutional food service. Buy American provisions, prevailing wage requirements where applicable, and local preference programs (such as Oregon's combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders) appear routinely in recent solicitations.
