UNSPSC 50534909: Dried non GMO august red nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO august red 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 50534909 Dried non-GMO August red nectarines (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code is highly specialized for a single dried-fruit product variant, yet the most recent opportunities in the source material span broad food procurement across school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply — encompassing fresh and processed produce, grocery staples, proteins, dairy, and prepared meals, but no dried nectarines specifically. The tagged opportunities represent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), county systems (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), and municipal bodies (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; City of Dallas, Texas) — but none explicitly solicit dried nectarines as a line item.

The mismatch between the commodity code's specificity and the breadth of actual procurement suggests either that dried nectarines fall within larger grocery or produce contracts as minor commodities not itemized separately, or that this code rarely triggers standalone solicitations at the state and local level. School nutrition programs and institutional food service operations do source fresh and frozen produce aggressively (illustrated by Hancock County Schools' 200-line-item fresh-produce IFB due June 26, 2026, and Douglas County's $4.4 million produce RFP due March 4, 2026), but dried or specialty fruit items typically appear as part of consolidated snack or commodity line-item bundles rather than as dedicated procurements. If pursuing this code, target school districts with centralized food procurement and regional buying cooperatives, which aggregate commodity demand; however, the absence of any recent standalone dried-nectarine solicitation in the source material suggests limited immediate opportunity.
