UNSPSC 50555812: Canned or jarred non GMO black diamond plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO black diamond 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 50555812 Canned or jarred non-GMO black diamond plums is a Commodity code that tracks state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, including correctional facilities, state health systems, schools, senior services, and veterans' homes. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers acquiring canned applesauce, canned fruit, dried fruit bars, and broader categories of shelf-stable food products as components of larger nutrition and food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia, Texas Comptroller for the Department of Criminal Justice), county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and municipal agencies (City of Bridgeport). The State of Illinois appears frequently, issuing multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases throughout 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with the most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins, due October 19, 2026, to supply the Department of Community Services; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem, Oregon, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a 5% preference for Oregon-fabricated goods, due July 31, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and a contract term from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 plus renewal options, due July 11, 2026. Canned fruit and applesauce appear as line items within larger food-service procurements; standalone procurement of the code's specific product—black diamond plums—does not appear in the recent records reviewed.
