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 is a Commodity code that describes a specific dried fruit product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not actually procure dried nectarines. Instead, they solicit broad grocery and food-service products for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply — including fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, meat, beverages, and prepared meals. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing activity suggests this code sees little relevant recent use in state and local procurement for its intended commodity.

The six most recent opportunities in the dataset span school districts, counties, state health agencies, and county boards of commissioners across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, posted between April and June 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking over 1,100 line items of grocery items (breakfast items, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meat) for the Board of Education under IFB BNB052266 due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce with over 200 line items across apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, and citrus under IFB SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission seeking food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 due July 11, 2026 (with historical monthly value of approximately $125,000). The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners also issued ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services statewide, estimated at $17.8 million over three years. None of these opportunities specifically call for dried nectarines, indicating that procurement under this code does not align with what vendors offering that product should target.
