UNSPSC 50534935: Dried non GMO red diamond nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO red diamond 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 50534935 Dried non GMO red diamond nectarines, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being procured by state and local governments in recent solicitations tagged under it. The recent opportunities under this code span broad grocery procurement, fresh produce sourcing, and meal preparation services for school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, and state-supported living facilities — none of which centers on dried nectarines specifically. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and independent school districts. School districts appear as the dominant buyer type across multiple recent opportunities, driven by federal Child Nutrition Program requirements and Buy American Provision mandates requiring minimum domestic agricultural content.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Mississippi. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) issued an RFP for over 1,100 line items of grocery items with a due date of June 30, 2026, requiring compliance with Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards and Buy American Provision documentation. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce encompassing over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB (HHS0017449) for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and bids due July 13, 2026. Hillsborough County (Florida) posted an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 and bids due June 25, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity for dried nectarines as a standalone commodity; the tagging appears to reflect miscategorization against broader foodservice procurement rather than a procurement stream for this specific product.
