UNSPSC 50555424: Canned or jarred non GMO juno pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO juno pears 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 50555424 Canned or jarred non-GMO Juno pears (Commodity) sees minimal relevant recent activity under the nominal code, though state and local buyers are actively procuring canned and jarred fruit products broadly through food service and nutrition programs. The recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly reflect procurement of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed food commodities for correctional facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies—work that sits adjacent to but does not directly match the narrow scope of canned or jarred Juno pears. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical price $21.84 per case, delivered to Salem in five truckloads), and the agency previously solicited similar canned fruit under ITB S2910000016975 in May 2026. The code's nominal specificity—non-GMO Juno pears in canned or jarred form—does not align with the broader food commodity and produce procurement patterns visible in the recent opportunities block, which emphasizes fresh produce, mixed grocery items, and standardized USDA commodity canned fruit more broadly.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Dallas ISD), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois CPO, Oregon DOC), and a municipal board of education (Bridgeport). Geographic spread includes Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia. The opportunities reflect demand for food products under cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct state procurement, with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, and supply agreements typically running one year with renewal options. However, the code as specified—canned or jarred non-GMO Juno pears—shows no directly matched opportunities in the recent block. The single Oregon fruit pear solicitation (S2910000016081, posted February 20, 2026, due March 6, 2026) lacks sufficient documentation to confirm scope alignment. If your firm targets this code, expect that actual opportunities will be sparse and irregularly timed; monitor school district and state facility nutrition programs in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest where the recent activity concentrates, but recognize that canned fruit demand under this code may be captured under broader commodity classifications or bundled into mixed-produce contracts rather than solicited as a standalone line item.
