UNSPSC 50555701: Canned or jarred non GMO black kat plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO black kat plucot 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 50555701 Canned or jarred non GMO black kat plucot is a Commodity code with little recent activity directly matching its nominal scope; the recent opportunities tagged under this code instead reflect broader canned and fresh fruit procurement across state and local nutrition programs, corrections systems, and school food service operations. State and local governments buying under or near this code are sourcing canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, and supplemental food products for institutional feeding—correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school districts, and health and human services agencies. The issuing bodies span corrections departments, school nutrition programs (independent school districts, county boards of education, cooperative purchasing consortia), state health and human services commissions, and city boards of education, with school districts representing the largest category of recent buyers.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with scattered mid-Atlantic and Midwest solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases at approximately $21.84 per case, bids due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supplying the El Paso State Supported Living Center and Department of State Health Services (prior period value $1.5 million, proposals due July 13, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty items (bids due June 26, 2026). Price competition remains active with historical awards to vendors such as Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner in Oregon; Buy American provisions and domestic content requirements appear consistently across school district and state-agency procurements in this product family.
