UNSPSC 50555500: Canned or jarred non GMO persimmons

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO persimmons 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 50555500 Canned or jarred non-GMO persimmons is a Commodity code; however, recent state and local activity under this code shows no relevant persimmon procurements. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and general food supply across school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and state corrections facilities—none of which align with the code's nominal scope of persimmon products. The mismatch between the code's specific commodity focus and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or dormant procurement activity for non-GMO persimmons in the state and local market.

No recent state or local solicitations for canned or jarred non-GMO persimmons appear in the available record. Procurement activity in the broad food-supply space continues across school districts, state corrections departments, state health agencies, and institutional food service, but none of the posted opportunities (January 2026 through July 2026) name persimmons as a line item or procurement focus. Vendors pursuing this specific commodity should monitor Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia school districts, and Connecticut school nutrition programs for future seasonal or demand-driven buys, but current market signals do not support active pursuit under this code.
