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, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this designation show little connection to the code's nominal scope. The Bridgeport Board of Education, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, State of Georgia, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District have all tagged their recent solicitations with this code while actually procuring broad food-service categories spanning fresh produce, groceries, meal preparation, and consumable products. School districts, county health and human services agencies, and county boards dominate the issuing-body mix, with school nutrition programs and senior meal services as the primary use cases. No recent opportunities specifically solicit dried nectarines or items matching the code's technical description; the mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code has become a catch-all placeholder for multi-category food procurement when issuing bodies lack more granular commodity breakdowns.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and Texas, with recent bids from Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (breakfast, cereals, frozen products, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meat) supporting the National School Lunch Program with a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million; and Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, and leafy greens) for the 2026-27 school year. Buyers typically require firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, liability insurance, and compliance with federal school nutrition standards. The code shows substantial procurement volume but poor alignment with its stated commodity definition.
