UNSPSC 50557022: Canned or jarred non GMO mombins

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO mombins 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 50557022 Canned or jarred non-GMO mombins is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, though recent opportunities under this code show activity focused primarily on applesauce, dried fruit bars, and broader canned goods rather than the specialized mombin category. State and local governments soliciting under this code span school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and independent school nutrition programs across multiple states. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple invitations to bid for canned applesauce, most recently ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, seeking 4,760 cases at approximately $21.84 per case historical pricing with 5% Oregon goods and 5% Oregon-headquartered-vendor preferences available. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issues broad food and consumable procurements serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with IFB HHS0017449 posted June 11, 2026, covering food and consumable products including canned goods for El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million. Austin Independent School District posted RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026, and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited quarterly weekly food orders with brand-specific requirements due June 17, 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois based on recent postings, with secondary procurement activity in Connecticut and Missouri through school district nutrition programs. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections applesauce bid (ITB, July 31, 2026) with firm fixed pricing FOB destination, five truckloads of 952 cases each, USDA 2011 commodity compliance, and one-year minimum shelf life; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0016792V2, now closed but reissued as HHS0017449) covering 210 line items across state hospitals and living centers with firm pricing, quarterly reporting by line item and facility, and maximum potential contract value of $4,500,000 over three years; and Douglas County School System's main-line food supply RFP (26-003, closed) requiring service to 32 schools with 32,000 daily meals at approximately $9,000,000 estimated annual expenditure. School nutrition programs dominate this code's recent activity, frequently using cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative (Douglas County RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts, $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two) and individual district solicitations requiring firm pricing, multiple delivery locations, USDA commodity and Buy American compliance, and insurance minimums of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence.
