UNSPSC 50555842: Canned or jarred non GMO jamaican plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO jamaican 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 50555842 Canned or jarred non-GMO Jamaican plum is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not solicit this specific item actively in current procurement records; instead, recent opportunities under related food-service commodity codes show public bodies buying canned and jarred shelf-stable fruits, vegetables, proteins, and prepared foods for nutrition programs, correctional facilities, schools, state-supported living centers, and senior services. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, for example, sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for the Department of Community Services in an October 2026 IWQ (informal written quote); the Oregon Department of Corrections twice solicited canned applesauce in bulk quantities (roughly 4,760 and 1,904 cases respectively) under ITBs; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB spanning 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and canned food products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Corrections, Illinois CPO, Texas HHS, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), counties (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center), and special-purpose state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, TDCJ warehouse distribution points across Texas).

Recent procurement activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida implied through Gwinnett and Hancock counties), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Illinois, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 food-items IWQ due October 19 for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for canned applesauce (bid due July 31, historical price $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales in June 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 brand-or-equal and brand-specific proposals for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due August 24); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables to serve state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide (210 line items, maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years, responses due March 19, 2026). The code shows no current procurement specifically for canned or jarred Jamaican plum; the source material reflects broader shelf-stable fruit and prepared-food procurement that may incidentally include such items under "approved equivalent" or brand-or-equal specifications, but the commodity itself does not appear in recent active solicitations.
