UNSPSC 50555870: Canned or jarred non GMO royal red plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO royal red 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 50555870 Canned or jarred non GMO royal red plums (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity; the opportunities tagged under this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service supply contracts that fall outside the specific scope of canned plums. The code's nominal definition targets a narrow processed-fruit product, but the most recent solicitations across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri reflect demand for diverse packaged and fresh foods supplied to correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school districts, and school nutrition programs—categories where canned plums, if procured at all, represent a minor line item within larger commodity baskets rather than a standalone contracting focus.

State and local procurement under related codes does show active, recurring demand for canned fruit products. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, with bids due July 31, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical price $21.84 per case, awarded to Robbins Sales in June 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables statewide, including canned goods as part of broader supply contracts valued up to $4.5 million over three years; and school districts nationwide (Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, and others) regularly bid food contracts encompassing canned fruits and vegetables. If your firm supplies canned or jarred fruit products, tracking food-service solicitations under broader commodity and food-supply codes—rather than this specific plum designation—will surface more relevant opportunities where canned fruit appears as a line item within larger baskets.
