UNSPSC 50534930: Dried non GMO kay sweet nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO kay sweet 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 50534930 Dried non-GMO kay sweet nectarines is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under recent opportunities posted for this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span comprehensive school nutrition procurement (fresh produce, groceries, dairy, proteins, snacks, beverages), senior meal preparation and delivery services, institutional food service for state-supported living facilities, and boxed meal delivery for municipal events — none of which involve dried nectarines or dried fruit products. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); other state and local buyers include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases and City of Dallas, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida). The code's nominal scope—dried nectarines—bears no relationship to the food service, fresh produce, grocery, and meal delivery contracts actually being procured.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with heavy activity in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Virginia, and Texas. Representative solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), covering delivery of food products to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with an estimated annual value; the City of Bridgeport's grocery procurement for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), spanning over 1,100 line items subject to Buy American provisions and the National School Lunch Program; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce procurement (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), covering over 200 fresh-produce line items for the 2026-27 school year; and Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026), valued at $17.8 million over three years. The persistent mismatch between code classification and actual procurement activity suggests this code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or has been retired from active use in favor of broader food-service codes capturing the actual volume of school nutrition, institutional food service, and meal delivery work.
