UNSPSC 50556008: Canned or jarred non GMO wainwright pomelo

The variety of non GMO pomelos known as non GMO wainwright pomelo that has 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 50556008 Canned or jarred non-GMO pomelo is a Commodity code showing no recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026), fresh produce and eggs across multiple school districts (Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026), and broad food-supply contracts for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school nutrition programs across Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, Georgia, and Missouri. The code's nominal scope—canned or jarred pomelo specifically—does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The actual procurement volume concentrates in canned fruit applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit products, and multi-category food-supply agreements for institutional food service rather than pomelo.

Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections (Oregon), state health and human services commissions (Texas), independent school districts (Austin, Dallas), county school systems (Douglas County Georgia, Hancock County Georgia, Muscogee County Georgia, Liberty County Georgia), regional school systems (Savannah-Chatham County, Rockwood R-VI Missouri, Fairfax County Virginia), and municipal education systems (Bridgeport Connecticut). School nutrition programs appear as the dominant buyer segment across June 2026 back through February 2026. The geographic spread covers Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, with the heaviest recent concentration in Texas (HHSC multiple facilities statewide, TDCJ prison food service, Dallas and Austin school districts) and Georgia (five school district solicitations). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections canned fruit applesauce ITB with an estimated $41,530 contract value (historical pricing $21.84 per case for 1,904 cases) and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The code appears misapplied to actual fruit and vegetable procurement; vendors pursuing commodity food contracts should monitor school nutrition and correctional facility solicitations directly rather than relying on pomelo-specific coding.
