UNSPSC 50555844: Canned or jarred non GMO kelsey plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO kelsey 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 50555844 Canned or jarred non-GMO Kelsey plums is a Commodity code with little recent relevant activity. The source records show state and local procurement activity across canned fruit products, fresh produce, and broader food-service procurement, but none of the recent opportunities specifically target the Kelsey plum category named in the code. A recent Oregon Department of Corrections ITB (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) solicits canned fruit applesauce rather than plums, and a prior ODOC ITB (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026) similarly sought applesauce. The code's nominal scope—specialty canned fruit in a narrow varietal—does not match the actual buying patterns in the records, which center on general canned fruit, fresh produce, and commodity food products for schools, corrections facilities, and state institutions across multiple produce categories and processed items.

State and local buyers soliciting food products include school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County and Douglas County school systems, SCCPSS), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), and county and municipal nutrition programs. Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois. No evidence in the source supports active procurement demand for canned or jarred Kelsey plums specifically. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether the UNSPSC classification accurately reflects buyer demand or whether a broader fresh or canned fruit code aligns better with actual state and local food-service spending.
