UNSPSC 50555707: Canned or jarred non GMO flavor fall plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO flavor fall 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 50555707 Canned or jarred non-GMO flavor fall plucot is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not consistently align with its specific product scope. Instead, the code shows activity focused on broad food procurement for institutional feeding — school nutrition programs, corrections and state hospital food service, senior services, and state veterans' facilities — where canned and jarred shelf-stable fruits feature as line items within much larger multi-category food solicitations rather than as standalone purchases. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), and municipal government (City of Bridgeport). Most opportunities are issued as IFBs or RFQs and target delivery within weeks to months; awards typically favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a per-unit price basis.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. Georgia (Gwinnett County), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC El Paso, TDCJ), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Illinois (IVHQ Quincy) account for the bulk of posted solicitations, while Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 RFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, vegetables, sauces) due October 19, 2026; Oregon DOC's July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case (historical price), delivery to Salem in five truckloads; Texas HHSC's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products to El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical monetary value of $1.5 million annually; and Austin ISD's July 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps. Most solicitations require FOB Destination delivery, compliance with USDA or FDA standards, commercial liability insurance, and acknowledgment of addenda; several impose Buy American provisions or state-level wage and employment verification requirements.
