UNSPSC 50534912: Dried non GMO bright pearl nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO bright pearl 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 50534912 Dried non-GMO bright pearl nectarines is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears no relationship to the dried-nectarine specification. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad school nutrition procurement across fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, meal preparation and delivery, and food service distribution — spanning elementary through high school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and state-supported living facilities. The issuing bodies include multiple school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut), a county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), a state health agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), a state procurement office (Georgia), and a city government (City of Dallas). School districts dominate the recent activity, with Hillsborough County's senior meal-delivery contract standing out at an estimated $17.8 million over three years and Meriden Public Schools' commercial-grocery RFP valued at approximately $3.1 million for a single school year.

Recent representative opportunities show geographic concentration in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) is seeking over 1,100 grocery line items with a July 1, 2026 contract start and electronic bid due June 30, 2026 via IFB; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a fresh-produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026; Hillsborough County's senior-meal ITB 26-00289 was due June 25, 2026 and carries an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 closed April 27, 2026 with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options for four additional one-year periods. Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content) appear across most school district procurements; all solicitations require firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, compliance with food safety and HACCP standards, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed schedules. The code's nominal focus on dried nectarines mismatches the actual procurement activity, which centers on fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, and meal services rather than any single commodity line.
