UNSPSC 50555811: Canned or jarred non GMO black bullace plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO black bullace plum 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 50555811 Canned or jarred non-GMO black bullace plum is a Commodity code that, despite its specific product name, sees negligible direct procurement activity under the code itself. The recent opportunities sourced to this code are generic food and consumable purchases for schools, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and county social services, where canned or jarred non-GMO black bullace plum appears either absent or as a line item among hundreds of shelf-stable or fresh food products. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois), and municipal departments (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). The recent opportunities suggest that state and local procurement offices classify bulk food purchases using broad UNSPSC codes and then specify individual items—including apples, applesauce, dried fruit bars, produce, dairy, proteins, and canned vegetables—through line-item detail rather than through commodity-specific code assignment.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia (Gwinnett County), Illinois (statewide), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (statewide through HHSC and TDCJ), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and scattered school districts in multiple states. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (RFQ, due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (RFP, due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned applesauce procurement (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, with 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0016792V2, with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years). The code shows little targeted demand for canned or jarred non-GMO black bullace plum specifically and represents a category mismatch rather than active procurement of the named commodity.
