UNSPSC 50534922: Dried non GMO flat type nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO flat type 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 50534922 Dried non-GMO flat type nectarines, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally specifies a single dried-fruit product, yet state and local governments do not appear to solicit dried nectarines specifically; instead, recent solicitations under this code tag encompass broad food-service procurement spanning fresh produce, grocery staples, meal preparation, and food-supply distribution. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the breadth of actual purchasing activity suggests the code may be misapplied in source systems, or procurement offices use it as a catch-all for fruit-related food purchases. State and local issuing bodies soliciting food products include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, Douglas County School System in Georgia), municipal governments (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases in Connecticut, City of Dallas), a county commission (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and cooperative-purchasing entities (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts).

Recent opportunities tagged under this code span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply—not dried nectarines. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items with Buy American compliance at 51 percent domestic content), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026, covering apples, berries, vegetables, and citrus across three school sites), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026, requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens), and Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution (due February 18, 2026, estimated at approximately $9,000,000 annually for 32 schools). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts and the state procurement office), with additional recent solicitations in Connecticut, Virginia, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi. The code's recent activity does not reflect procurement of dried nectarines as a line item or primary scope; business development professionals should assess whether this code accurately reflects their product or service offerings before pursuing opportunities tagged with it.
