UNSPSC 50555856: Canned or jarred non GMO perdrigon plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO perdrigon 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 50555856 Canned or jarred non-GMO Perdrigon plum (Commodity) does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tracked under this code. The recent opportunities show heavy demand for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broad-spectrum food service supplies across correctional facilities, school districts, and state health agencies, with virtually no activity on canned or jarred plums. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple school districts and school nutrition programs (Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Hancock County, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Austin Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System), city and county boards of education, and specialized state facilities including state hospitals and supported living centers. The activity reflects a broad food service procurement environment where canned or jarred fruit commodities compete as one line item within larger food supply solicitations tied to meal service operations.

Recent opportunities show the code's actual use spans fresh produce and dried fruit contracts (Hancock County Schools IFB for fresh produce; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 for fresh produce; Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs) as well as consolidated food supply agreements (Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce, due July 31, 2026; Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables, due July 13, 2026; Bridgeport Board of Education BNB053266 for commodities including fruit products, due June 26, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Florida, with school nutrition programs and state correctional and health agencies as primary issuing bodies. The code shows active procurement momentum across the South and West through mid-2026, driven by recurring annual school year contracts and state facility supply cycles, though the specific canned or jarred Perdrigon plum product category itself appears dormant in recent opportunities.
