UNSPSC 50555868: Canned or jarred non GMO rosemary plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO rosemary 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 50555868 Canned or jarred non GMO rosemary plums, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope; state and local governments are soliciting canned and shelf-stable fruit products under this and related codes, but recent opportunities target broader food service categories that subsume individual specialty items rather than rosemary plums specifically. The work actually being procured under food service codes includes canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, and mixed shelf-stable proteins and vegetables for school districts, corrections departments, state-supported living centers, county senior services, and municipal nutrition programs. Issuing bodies range from state departments and agencies (Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas) to county boards of education and city procurement offices, with school districts and corrections departments representing the largest buyers in the sample.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and West, with Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois posting the most solicitations in this category since May 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026, RFQ); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0016792v2 (responses due March 19, 2026, covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, historical award at $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales, due July 31, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procuring approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas under IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport requesting bids for 115 line items of commodities for school nutrition under BNB053266 (due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE eligibility). Buy American provisions appear in school district solicitations, and most contracts require compliance with USDA standards, FDA regulations, and food safety certifications including HACCP plans.
