UNSPSC 50555703: Canned or jarred non GMO crimson heart plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO crimson heart 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 50555703 Canned or jarred non-GMO crimson heart plucot is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement; the single opportunity nominally tagged to this code does not involve plucots or any specialty fruit product. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IFQ on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables with responses due October 19, 2026—a commodity procurement focused on bulk staple foods for the Department of Community Services, not specialty canned fruit. The mismatch between the code's narrow nominal scope (canned non-GMO crimson heart plucots) and the actual activity tagged to it suggests either miscoding by the issuing body or that plucots do not form a meaningful category in state and local food service purchasing at present.

The broader universe of state and local food procurement—reflected in recent solicitations across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, and other jurisdictions—centers on volume commodity foods including applesauce, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared items for correctional facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Illinois Veterans Home all posted solicitations for canned applesauce, supplemental foods, and cafeteria products on ITB, IFB, or RFP basis in the May through October 2026 window. If your firm competes in canned and jarred specialty fruits, monitor whether future state and local RFPs explicitly call out non-GMO fruit products or plucot varieties; current signals suggest the code is either dormant in state and local markets or systematically mistagged.
