UNSPSC 50534934: Dried non GMO mericrest nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO mericrest 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 50534934 Dried non-GMO Mericrest nectarines is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent opportunities specifically aligned with the commodity's nominal scope. The recent solicitations tagged to this code predominantly solicit comprehensive grocery procurement, fresh produce assortments, meal preparation and delivery services, and food service distribution—none of which center on or even mention dried nectarines as a line item. The Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 grocery bid spans over 1,100 line items and names fresh and frozen fruits generically but does not reference dried nectarines; the Hancock County Schools and Savannah-Chatham County systems procure fresh produce in broad categories; and the Douglas County system's produce RFP lists approximately 72 fresh produce line items without naming dried nectarines. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Hillsborough County catering solicitations address food service operations broadly rather than specific commodity inputs. The mismatch between code and actual procurement suggests either miscoding of opportunities in the source data or a code with minimal recent state and local procurement velocity.

Geographic spread across the recent opportunities is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with solicitations posted from Georgia (three school systems: Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County; plus two state-level procurements), Texas (HHSC El Paso and City of Dallas), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Florida (Hillsborough County), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). School districts and state education-affiliated systems account for the majority of issuing bodies, with county boards of education and municipal catering and meal services representing secondary actors. No current opportunities under UNSPSC 50534934 specifically solicit dried nectarines or similar specialty dried fruit commodities; pursuit of this code tier without product-specific alignment to actual RFP line items is not warranted.
