UNSPSC 50534929: Dried non GMO kay pearl nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO kay 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 50534929 Dried non GMO kay pearl nectarines is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single dried-fruit product line, but the recent state and local opportunities in the block show little direct purchasing activity under this specific code. The opportunities instead span broader school nutrition and senior meal programs where fresh produce, packaged grocery items, and prepared foods are being solicited — fresh apples, berries, and mixed vegetables appear in school district RFPs, and congregate and home-delivered senior meals are sourced through county and state health agencies. When dried specialty fruits like kay pearl nectarines do enter state and local food-service procurement, they typically appear as line items within larger grocery or produce contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county health and human services agencies (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state-level food programs. None of the recent solicitations explicitly name dried nectarines or similar specialty dried fruits as a primary scope.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with school nutrition procurements under the National School Lunch Program dominating the market signal. Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response date; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services through electronic bid due June 30, 2026; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 11, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated contract value of $17.8 million and a three-year term. Buy American provisions requiring 51% domestic agricultural content appear consistently across school nutrition contracts. The code shows no recent standout activity specifically for dried specialty nectarines and remains a niche opportunity within larger produce and grocery aggregations.
