UNSPSC 50534907: Dried non GMO august fire nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO august fire 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 50534907 Dried non-GMO August fire nectarines is a Commodity code nominally designating a single dried-fruit product line, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code bear no meaningful relationship to that narrow scope—instead capturing broad school nutrition and institutional food-service procurement spanning fresh produce, packaged meals, grocery staples, and prepared-meal delivery. School districts and county governments are the primary issuing bodies, with one state agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission) and one county board of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida) also soliciting. The work actually being bought ranges from fresh produce for school meal programs (over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits) to packaged frozen items, condiments, and prepared senior meals meeting National School Lunch Program and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act standards. All opportunities require compliance with Buy American provisions mandating at least 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients, HACCP food-safety plans, nutritional labeling, allergen restrictions (notably no nuts or nut oils), and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases released IFB BNB052266 seeking grocery items (over 1,100 line items) for the Bridgeport Board of Education with a June 30, 2026 response deadline and July 1, 2026 contract start. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 due date. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and a July 11, 2026 proposal deadline. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB-26-00289 with an estimated three-year contract value of $17,832,659.90 and a June 25, 2026 bid deadline. The code shows no recent opportunities bearing direct relevance to dried August fire nectarines as a discrete commodity; the mismatch suggests either a data-classification error or that dried stone fruits are being procured as part of broader grocery-aggregation contracts rather than as standalone line items.
