UNSPSC 50555366: Canned or jarred non GMO surecrop peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO surecrop 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 50555366 Canned or jarred non-GMO Surecrop peaches (Commodity) names a narrow product line, but state and local procurement under this code actually encompasses a much broader range of shelf-stable and fresh food items, including canned fruits, dried fruit products, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and consumable supplies for institutional food service. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county boards of education and nutrition services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments and agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), school districts (Austin Independent School District), and municipal procurement offices. The code sees activity from both repeat institutional buyers with recurring quarterly or seasonal food contracts and one-time or periodic sourcing events. Food service procurement under this code typically involves competitive bidding on firm fixed pricing for shelf-stable items delivered to central distribution facilities or individual sites, with Buy American provisions and compliance with USDA or FDA standards common across educational and correctional institutions.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Texas, with multiple solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), and Connecticut (Bridgeport), alongside activity in Oregon (Department of Corrections) and Illinois (state veterans homes). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (proposals due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation to bid (ITB) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem (bids due July 31, 2026 at $21.84 per case historical pricing); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's invitation for bids on supplemental food and consumables statewide, encompassing 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years (bid deadline March 19, 2026, already closed). Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty items (bids due June 26, 2026). The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought bids for 115 commodity line items for its nutrition center (electronic submissions due June 26, 2026). Awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or the bidder providing best value; pricing remains firm for the contract period, with deliveries FOB destination and prepaid freight standard.
