UNSPSC 50555510: Canned or jarred non GMO royal brillante persimmons

The variety of non GMO persimmons known as non GMO royal brillante 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 50555510 Canned or jarred non-GMO royal brillante persimmons is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for persimmons specifically; instead, the code appears associated with broader food-service procurement notices that span multiple shelf-stable and fresh food categories. State and local governments do purchase canned and jarred fruit products through nutrition and food-service programs, but the available data does not isolate persimmon purchases as a standalone or recurring line item. The issuing bodies on file include county boards of education, state corrections departments, state departments of health and human services, city boards of education nutrition centers, county senior services, and state veterans' homes—all institutional food-service operations.

Geographic activity is scattered across Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut based on recent postings, with no clear concentration in a single state or region. Representative recent opportunities show broader fruit and produce solicitations: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB on June 2, 2026 (due June 2, 2026) and May 18, 2026 (due June 2, 2026) for canned applesauce; Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce in June 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB in May 2026 for supplemental food and consumable products including canned fruits. The code appears to be a catch-all tag applied to food-service RFQs, RFPs, and ITBs that may not specifically itemize persimmon products. No recent opportunities name persimmons as a line item or primary procurement focus. If pursuing this code, monitor institutional food-service contracts with explicit fresh or canned fruit line items, but the specific persimmon UNSPSC designation does not currently surface a market signal strong enough to justify dedicated pursuit.
