UNSPSC 50556803: Canned or jarred non GMO thai lessard sugar apple

The variety of non GMO sugar apples known as non GMO thai lessard 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 50556803 Canned or jarred non-GMO Thai lessard sugar apple is a Commodity code that in practice covers shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products purchased by state and local food service operations, particularly school districts, state health agencies, and county social services. The recent solicitations tagged to this code show state and local buyers procuring canned applesauce, fresh produce, and broader food commodities for institutional meal service—not the narrow "non-GMO Thai lessard sugar apple" label alone. The mix of issuing bodies includes county boards of education (Hancock County Schools in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home), city nutrition centers (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), and county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). The code shows no concentration among repeat buyers; instead, it reflects broad institutional demand across multiple jurisdictions and agency types.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, pasta, sauces, vegetables) due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. The code shows active demand but does not support pursuit focus on the "non-GMO Thai lessard sugar apple" specification itself—opportunities reflect mainstream shelf-stable and fresh produce sourcing for bulk institutional food service.
