UNSPSC 50534913: Dried non GMO diamond bright nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO diamond bright 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 50534913 Dried non-GMO diamond bright nectarines is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code describe comprehensive school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts—spanning fresh produce, groceries, dairy, proteins, and prepared meals—rather than the narrow specialty item the code nominally names. The code appears to serve as a catch-all classifier for institutional food procurement across school districts, county governments, state agencies, and municipalities, with issuing bodies concentrated among K-12 school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, and Douglas County School System), county commissioners (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and special districts (Pascagoula-Gautier School District). Most activity appears in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, with concurrent procurement in Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia. The mix reflects institutional food service as a core state and local operating expense, not specialty nectarine sourcing.

Recent opportunities span multiple food categories and contract structures. The Bridgeport Board of Education issued IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items with electronic bids due June 30, 2026, supporting the National School Lunch Program and requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content under the Buy American Provision. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission released IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with proposals due July 13, 2026 and a prior-period value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce spanning 200-plus items under IFB #SN002-2027, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 and bids due June 25, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools released IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 with sealed bids due April 27, 2026, requiring minimum three-year food delivery experience and firm fixed pricing. Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services with an estimated annual expenditure of $9,000,000 and proposals due February 18, 2026. School district purchasing dominates the activity, with contracts typically requiring Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, firm fixed pricing, compliance with Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and delivery to multiple school sites with Monday-through-Friday schedules. Meriden Public Schools anticipated contract value for 2026-2027 was approximately $3,100,000; Douglas County's fresh produce and eggs RFP (SN 26-004) covered 30 cooperating districts across two Georgia areas with estimated spending of approximately $5.5 million combined. Procurement is active across spring and early summer 2026 with response deadlines clustered between mid-February and late June.
