UNSPSC 50555827: Canned or jarred non GMO elephant heart plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO elephant heart 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 50555827 Canned or jarred non-GMO elephant heart plums is a Commodity-tier code that sees minimal recent solicitation activity directly matching its nominal scope. State and local governments procure food products under this code as part of broader shelf-stable food acquisitions for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans' homes, health and human services centers, and county senior services. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education and county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Austin Independent School District, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and other institutional food-service operations. Purchases are typically bundled within larger commodity food RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs that specify multiple line items across protein, produce, dairy, and canned goods; individual canned fruit items are rarely solicited in isolation.

The recent opportunities block shows no direct bids for canned or jarred elephant heart plums specifically. Instead, state and local bodies have posted solicitations for canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections, May and July 2026, ITB format), mixed food commodities including canned vegetables and fruits (Gwinnett County, October 2026, IWQ; Texas HHSC, June and May 2026, IFB format), fresh produce (Hancock County Schools, June 2026, IFB; Austin ISD, June 2026, RFP), and dried fruit bars (Austin ISD, June 2026, RFP). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Gwinnett and Hancock counties), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC statewide, TDCJ statewide), Oregon (ODOC), Illinois (state veterans home), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). The code shows little activity targeting this specific cultivar or product variant; suppliers pursuing work under 50555827 should monitor broader canned-fruit and commodity-food solicitations where elephant heart plums, if purchased at all, would appear as one line item among dozens.
