UNSPSC 50555906: Canned or jarred non GMO pinkhan pomegranates

The variety of non GMO pomegranates known as non GMO pinkhan pomegranates 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 50555906 Canned or jarred non-GMO pinkhan pomegranates is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code actually solicit shelf-stable food products for institutional food service—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed commodity food items for schools, county nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, and health and human services centers. The code's specific focus on non-GMO pinkhan pomegranates does not match the diverse, broad-based food sourcing that state and local buyers are actively conducting; the opportunities show purchasing bodies acquiring dozens to hundreds of line items across proteins, vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy, and prepared foods rather than specialized pomegranate products.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county boards of education, school districts, state corrections and health departments, and county departments of community services across Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 weekly food order for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due August 24, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 invitation to bid for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 invitation for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 invitation to bid for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026). The code shows limited recent activity specific to non-GMO pomegranates and instead reflects broad institutional food provisioning; vendors pursuing this taxonomy should verify whether the actual products they supply align with the specific line items state and local buyers are soliciting.
