UNSPSC 50534928: Dried non GMO july red nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO july red 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 50534928 Dried non-GMO July red nectarines is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single specialty produce item, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity directly aligned with dried nectarines. Instead, the code appears in procurement notices for broad food-service contracts spanning fresh produce, grocery staples, meal preparation, and consumable products for schools, senior programs, and institutional facilities. State and local governments use this code within larger food-procurement frameworks that bundle produce with other items rather than as a standalone line for dried nectarines specifically. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (Georgia). These jurisdictions procure food through a mix of RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs to support federal nutrition programs such as the National School Lunch Program and senior meal initiatives.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for grocery items with over 1,100 line items and a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce across 200-plus items (apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus, melons) for the 2026-27 school year; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB (HHS0017449) for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual spend of $1.5 million; and Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17,832,659.90 over three years. All solicitations impose Buy American domestic-content requirements (typically 51 percent for processed agricultural goods), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards where applicable, HACCP and food-safety compliance, and comprehensive liability insurance. The code shows modest but fragmented activity rather than concentrated procurement volume for the dried nectarine commodity itself.
