UNSPSC 50534916: Dried non GMO early diamond nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO early diamond 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 50534916 Dried non-GMO early diamond nectarines is a Commodity code that does not appear to match the scope of work in recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged with or related to this code center instead on comprehensive school nutrition grocery procurement, fresh produce supply for school districts and senior meal programs, and food service distribution—none of which reference dried nectarines as a line item or procurement focus. School districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and municipal departments are soliciting fresh produce contracts that span apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus fruits, and eggs, along with broader grocery and meal delivery services, but dried nectarines do not appear as a specified commodity in any of the representative opportunities. The code classification appears misaligned with the actual commodity families being purchased.

Recent opportunities in this taxonomy show strong activity among school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Meriden Public Schools), county and municipal bodies (Hillsborough County, City of Dallas, City of Bridgeport), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). Geographic concentration includes Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, and Mississippi. Representative current opportunities include the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) soliciting 76+ items across multiple school sites; the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 districts with an estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026); and the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 (due June 25, 2026). The code warrants verification for accuracy against the actual commodity specification before pursuing opportunities under this classification.
