UNSPSC 50556101: Canned or jarred non GMO champion quince

The variety of non GMO quince known as non GMO champion quince 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 50556101 Canned or jarred non-GMO champion quince is a Commodity code that sees sparse recent state and local activity; the source contains no recent solicitations explicitly seeking this product. Recent opportunities tagged with this code or closely related canned-fruit categories show state and local governments purchasing shelf-stable food items for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, health and human services centers, and senior services—but the specific product line (non-GMO champion quince) does not appear in the representative recent solicitations. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice procure canned applesauce in bulk; Gwinnett County, Georgia and Illinois Veterans Homes procure mixed shelf-stable foods including canned vegetables and proteins; and school districts and state health agencies source produce and processed foods. The code's nominal scope does not align with what these jurisdictions are actually buying in the recent-opportunities data.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Illinois, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with school districts and state correctional or health agencies as primary issuing bodies. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical contract value $1.5 million annually, due July 13, 2026), Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (approximately 382 line items, extended due date May 4, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable foods including canned proteins and vegetables (due October 19, 2026). The code shows limited recent procurement activity specifically for non-GMO champion quince and is best avoided unless direct institutional client relationships in food service exist.
