UNSPSC 50534919: Dried non GMO fire pearl nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO fire 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 50534919 Dried non-GMO fire pearl nectarines is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual purchasing activity under recent state and local solicitations. The code's nominal scope—a specific dried fruit variety—appears disconnected from the broad food-service procurement actually being tagged with it. Recent opportunities posted under this code span comprehensive school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery services, and institutional food supply contracts covering hundreds of line items encompassing fresh produce, dairy, meat, grains, beverages, condiments, and related supplies. The issuing bodies are school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, and Douglas County School System), county governments (Hillsborough County), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipalities (City of Dallas). This mismatch between the Commodity code and the solicitation scope suggests the tagging reflects administrative convenience rather than product specificity, making the code a poor targeting vehicle for vendors focused on dried nectarines.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, and Mississippi, with the most recent and largest opportunities posted from Georgia school districts. Representative solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with a July 1, 2026 start and Net 45 payment terms; Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution across 32 schools with an estimated $9 million annual spend and February 18, 2026 proposal deadline; Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery valued at $17.8 million over three years with a June 25, 2026 deadline; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for master grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens for the July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract year. Most opportunities require Buy American compliance (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP food safety plans, commercial general liability insurance typically at $1 million per occurrence, compliance with USDA nutrition standards, and firm fixed pricing. Vendors pursuing work under this code should treat it as a broad food-service aggregation rather than a dried-fruit-specific category and screen opportunities for actual scope fit before responding.
