UNSPSC 50555714: Canned or jarred non GMO flavor supreme plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO flavor supreme 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 50555714 Canned or jarred non-GMO flavor supreme plucot is a Commodity code that reflects state and local purchasing of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products, though recent solicitations show that state and local governments are buying a broader range of canned fruit and food items under this code's parent categories than the narrow product name suggests. Recent opportunities under related commodity codes and food-procurement families include canned applesauce, canned proteins, canned vegetables, and mixed shelf-stable food inventories for corrections facilities, schools, senior services, health-and-human-services agencies, and institutional food service operations. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and commissioners' offices, city boards of education, and state health-and-human-services commissions. Vendors respond to IFBs, RFPs, and informal written quotes with typical contract terms running 12 months with one or two renewal options, delivery FOB destination with prepaid freight, firm fixed pricing often evaluated on a per-unit or per-case basis, and awards made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value proposer.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (June 2026 and July 2026, both due within two weeks of posting, with historical awards around $21.83 per case). Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food including canned proteins and vegetables in October 2026 (due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications in June and August 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued large-volume IFBs for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers and hospitals, with prior solicitations (May 2026) valued at up to $4.5 million over three years. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and Austin Independent School District (Texas) sought food products for nutrition centers and food service in June and July 2026. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) solicited fresh produce in June 2026, while the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products across multiple facilities in May 2026 (extended from April, due May 4). Most recent-activity geography shows concentration in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with periodic activity across other state agencies and school districts.
