UNSPSC 50555802: Canned or jarred non GMO angeleno plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO angeleno plums that have 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 50555802 Canned or jarred non-GMO Angeleno plums is a Commodity code that represents a narrow specialty food item; recent state and local opportunities, however, show no solicitations specifically for this product. Instead, the recent posting activity under this code tag encompasses a much broader range of shelf-stable and fresh food procurement by counties, school districts, and state agencies — including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy products, and mixed food and consumable supplies for correctional facilities, schools, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies are diverse: county boards of education and departments of community services, state departments of corrections and health and human services, city school districts, municipal nutrition centers, and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple end-using agencies. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission are repeat buyers in the recent record, each soliciting multiple food-supply contracts in the past six months.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Illinois, Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Northeast (Connecticut), with representation in Texas across multiple issuing bodies and contract cycles. Recent representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a 5 percent Oregon-goods preference, due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District's July 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumables covering 115 line items for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026.
