UNSPSC 50555512: Canned or jarred non GMO triumph persimmons

The variety of non GMO persimmons known as non GMO triumph 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 50555512 Canned or jarred non-GMO triumph persimmons (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities tagged with this code procure canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, pears, and mixed fresh and processed fruits—for state corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, health and human services institutions, and school districts across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. The code's nominal scope (non-GMO triumph persimmons specifically) diverges sharply from the actual commodities being bought, which span a broad range of preserved and fresh fruit items meeting USDA specifications, Buy American Act requirements, and child nutrition standards. State and local issuing bodies include corrections departments, school districts, county boards of education, health and human services commissions, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with federal food safety and nutritional standards, and maintenance of commercial liability insurance.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia and Texas lead in recent school nutrition procurements) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), with substantial school district activity also in Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning multiple varieties due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually. School districts dominate the recent pipeline, with multiple Georgia districts (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County) and Texas districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD) posting separate fresh produce and grocery procurement cycles for the 2026-27 fiscal year. No recent opportunities specifically match the persimmon-focused code scope; the mismatch signals either misclassification in source records or dormancy in persimmon-specific procurement at the state and local level.
