UNSPSC 50556801: Canned or jarred non GMO kampong mauve sugar apple

The variety of non GMO sugar apples known as non GMO kampong mauve sugar apple 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 50556801 Canned or jarred non-GMO kampong mauve sugar apple is a Commodity code that in practice covers shelf-stable processed fruit and related food-service staples procured by state and local nutrition programs, corrections departments, and school districts — though the recent solicitations show little activity specifically targeting the narrow product named in the code title, and instead demonstrate broader procurement of canned fruits, applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed food commodities for institutional food service. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Texas), state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), city procurement offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut), county commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). The work is predominantly food procurement-to-distribution-center or food-service-warehouse supply, with specifications calling for USDA commodity compliance, brand-or-equal substitution options, firm fixed pricing, and multiple-location delivery or central warehousing.

Recent solicitation activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, canned vegetables) with quote due October 19, 2026; State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issuing two weekly food-order solicitations for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants) with proposals due August 24, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce in five truckloads with bids due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with RFP due July 16, 2026; Texas HHSC Procurement requesting bids for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical value $1.5 million annually) with IFB due July 13, 2026; and Bridgeport Board of Education seeking bids on 115 line items of commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026. Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference (5 percent Oregon goods, 5 percent Oregon headquarters); Texas requires USDA compliance and firm fixed pricing with limited adjustment provisions; Connecticut and Georgia enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products; and most jurisdictions require commercial general liability insurance, HACCP plans or equivalent food-safety certifications, and E-Verify compliance.
