UNSPSC 50534905: Dried non GMO arctic sweet nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO arctic sweet nectarines that have been dried 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 50534905 Dried non-GMO arctic sweet nectarines is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity in state and local government. The recent opportunities block contains six solicitations tagged under or near this code, but only one involves fresh or dried fruit at scale: the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce RFB (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) includes multiple fruit varieties spanning apples, berries, citrus, melons, kiwis, mangos, papayas, and starfruit for the 2026–27 school year, delivered to three school locations. The remaining five opportunities span broader food and consumable products for school nutrition programs (Bridgeport Board of Education grocery items, Pascagoula-Gautier School District packaged meal boxes), a state-supported living center (Texas HHSC El Paso), senior meal preparation and delivery (Hillsborough County, Florida), and a state-level food and kitchen products procurement (Georgia). None of these explicitly feature dried arctic sweet nectarines as a line item or primary commodity. The code mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices use this specific commodity code inconsistently or tag broader produce and food categories under it as a convenience rather than as a precise match to actual buying.

Issuing bodies soliciting food and produce more broadly under this code tier include school districts (Hancock County, Georgia; Bridgeport, Connecticut; Pascagoula-Gautier, Mississippi), a state health and human services agency (Texas HHSC), a county board of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), and a state procurement office (Georgia). Geographic spread includes the Southeast (Georgia, Mississippi, Florida), Northeast (Connecticut), and Texas, with school nutrition programs dominating the volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County fresh produce RFB (over 200 line items, $1M+ typical annual value, due June 26, 2026) and the Hillsborough County senior meals ITB ($17.8 million estimated over three years, due June 25, 2026). The code shows no recent activity specific to dried arctic sweet nectarines and little evidence of targeted procurement of that item by state or local buyers; vendors sourcing specialty dried fruits should monitor school nutrition RFPs and institutional food-service bids rather than rely on this commodity code for opportunity discovery.
