UNSPSC 50534927: Dried non GMO honey blaze nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO honey blaze 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 50534927 Dried non-GMO honey blaze nectarines is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve comprehensive school nutrition and senior meal programs spanning fresh produce, complete grocery supplies, boxed meal delivery, and food service distribution — none of which are specialty dried fruit items. School districts, county boards of education, and city purchasing departments are the primary issuing bodies; representative recent solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education's broad grocery procurement (1,100+ line items across breakfast items, frozen products, produce, dairy, and meat; due June 30, 2026) and the Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP for 32,000 meals daily across 25,500 students with an estimated annual value of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026). These agencies are sourcing fresh apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables, and standard staple groceries through Buy American–compliant channels, not niche dried nectarine products.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia, with school districts dominating the issuer base. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 deadline; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued a Master Grocery K-12 IFB due April 27, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia) sought fresh produce bids due April 23, 2026; and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) procured commercial groceries and USDA Foods for 8,200 students with a contract value of approximately $3,100,000 for the 2026-2027 school year. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity definition and actual procurement activity suggests this code may be misapplied or that the procurement taxonomy does not track dried specialty fruit sourcing under this particular code. No activity directly involving dried nectarines appears in the recent solicitation record.
