UNSPSC 50557010: Canned or jarred non GMO durian

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO durian 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 50557010 Canned or jarred non-GMO durian, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers preserved durian products, but the recent solicitations posted under it address mainstream canned and jarred food commodities for institutional food service—primarily canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed grocery items for schools, corrections facilities, and state health and human services operations. These opportunities span school districts, state departments of corrections, state health agencies, and county boards of education across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri, with no recurring durian-specific demand evident in the dataset.

State and local buyers under this code tag are soliciting commodity food products on an ongoing basis through ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs with response windows typically 30–45 days. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requesting bids for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission seeking supplemental food and consumable products with annual estimated spend of $1.5 million for state hospitals and supported living centers. The Douglas County School System in Georgia coordinated a cooperative buying RFP for fresh produce across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. Buy American requirements, firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, and liability insurance minimums of $1,000,000 are standard across opportunities. No set-asides or preference programs are specified in the opportunities reviewed.
