UNSPSC 50556901: Canned or jarred non GMO amberlea gold tamarillo

The variety of non GMO tamarillo known as non GMO amberlea gold tamarillo 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 50556901 Canned or jarred non-GMO amberlea gold tamarillo is a Commodity code, but state and local government procurement activity under this specific code is minimal—recent opportunities show no solicitations naming tamarillo products. The recent opportunities block contains bids for applesauce, fresh produce, mixed food commodities, and specialty items for school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and county social services, but none target the specialty tamarillo SKU named in the code. State and local food procurement under the broader canned-fruit and food-supply families targets shelf-stable staples and commodity items with consistent demand across state departments, county boards of education, school districts, and correctional systems. When issuing bodies do solicit canned fruit, they typically specify brands or permit brand-or-equal substitution, with delivery to centralized warehouses or multiple school sites, and pricing evaluated on a per-case or per-unit basis. Commodity-level codes for specialty produce items like tamarillo see sporadic activity tied to specific institutional menus or dietary needs rather than routine procurement cycles.

Recent activity in adjacent food codes shows concentrated buying from Texas state agencies (HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia state procurement, Illinois Veterans Home, school districts in Georgia and Connecticut, and county social-services offices. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975 in May 2026 and S2910000017453 in July 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food in October 2026, and the Texas HHSC issued a $4.5 million three-year food-and-consumables bid in May 2026. School districts and institutional buyers consistently open procurements in spring (March–June) for the following school year or fiscal quarter. The tamarillo commodity code itself shows no recent state or local solicitations and does not appear in any of the representative opportunities posted in the last six months, suggesting either no current demand for this specialty item or misclassification of actual buying activity under the code.
