UNSPSC 50556903: Canned or jarred non GMO goldmine tamarillo

The variety of non GMO tamarillo known as non GMO goldmine 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 50556903 Canned or jarred non-GMO goldmine tamarillo is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities solicited under it do not reflect purchases of tamarillo products. Instead, the code tags a diverse range of shelf-stable and refrigerated food procurement by counties, school districts, state departments, and state supported-living centers—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, cafeteria proteins, dairy, condiments, and mixed food service commodities. State and local buyers use this code to solicit food supply contracts spanning institutional food service (corrections facilities, state hospitals, state supported-living centers, senior services), school nutrition programs, and general public-agency meal operations. Issuing bodies include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office (for state veterans homes), Georgia state procurement, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) and its Board of Education, and other county and municipal jurisdictions. Contracts typically run annual or multi-year terms with quarterly or ongoing weekly ordering, and bidders must meet USDA commodity standards, FDA compliance, insurance requirements ($1 million general commercial liability common), and Buy American provisions where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and West. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 18 and July 10, 2026, due dates June 2 and July 31 respectively), with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and a 10 percent Oregon-preference bonus available. Georgia posted food and kitchen-product procurement (May 15, 2026) and Hancock County Schools fresh-produce bids (June 10, 2026, due June 26) covering 200-plus line items with Buy American and HACCP documentation requirements. Texas HHSC solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide (May 19, 2026, due March 19 with a $4.5 million three-year potential value); Texas TDCJ issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for 382-line cafeteria food items across five geographic warehouse points (May 4, 2026, extended to May 4 per Addendum No. 2); and Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center requested food and consumables (June 11, 2026, due July 13 with a $1.5 million historical value guideline). Illinois Chief Procurement Office placed multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (June and August 2026). Gwinnett County (Georgia) solicited informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for senior services (October 13, 2026, due October 19). Austin Independent School District requested dried fruit bars and apple crisps (June 26, 2026, due July 16 under Texas Education Code RFP rules). Bridgeport, Connecticut issued a 115-line-item commodity bid under MBE/CBE provisions (June 2, 2026, due June 26) with firm pricing through June 30, 2027.
