UNSPSC 50555713: Canned or jarred non GMO flavor queen plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO flavor queen 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 50555713 Canned or jarred non GMO flavor queen plucot is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable canned and jarred specialty fruit products that state and local procurement offices acquire for institutional food service—primarily school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services residential centers, and senior services. Recent opportunities under this code show schools, state departments, and county agencies sourcing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and shelf-stable produce items as part of broader food service procurement portfolios. The issuing bodies are heterogeneous—they include state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, school districts, county senior services, and county purchasing offices—with no dominant single buyer. Work under the code spans informal written quotes for case quantities (often 1,000+ cases per order), invitations to bid, and requests for proposals, with delivery typically to central distribution centers or individual facility locations over defined contract terms (often annual with renewal options).

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and West, with recent opportunities from Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and State of Georgia), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Austin Independent School District), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent solicitations include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 seeking approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables with a response deadline of October 19, 2026 via informal written quote; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017453 requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.84 per case, bids due July 31, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, bids due July 11, 2026. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements (minimum 51 percent for processed products) appear in multiple school and nutrition-focused procurements, and state preferences for local or in-state vendors are applied in Oregon and Georgia.
