UNSPSC 50555501: Canned or jarred non GMO american persimmon

The variety of non GMO persimmons known as non GMO american persimmon that has 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 50555501 Canned or jarred non-GMO American persimmon is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products, though recent activity under this specific code shows minimal direct matches; instead, the recent opportunities reveal that state and local governments are actively soliciting canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce alongside broader food-service contracts for correctional facilities, schools, and state-supported living centers. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Rockwood R-VI), county school systems (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County), and state-supported facilities. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas HHSC appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent solicitations, indicating sustained demand from institutional food-service operations.

Geographically, the recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with scattered activity in Illinois and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case), and Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned goods for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million). School districts dominate the market volume—Fairfax County Public Schools solicited grocery K-12 supplies across 45 schools under IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 sought a main-line food distributor for approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated $9 million annual spend. Buy American Act compliance, firm-fixed pricing including FOB destination delivery, liability insurance minimums of $1 million per occurrence, and USDA commodity specification conformance are standard across solicitations. Most institutional buyers specify nine-month to one-year shelf life and allow sweetened, unsweetened, smooth, or chunky varieties.
