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 appear in current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations seeking dried nectarines or similar dried fruit products; instead, the posted opportunities center on fresh produce procurement, comprehensive grocery supply for school nutrition and senior meal programs, and bulk meal delivery services across multiple state and local jurisdictions.

State and local governments are actively procuring fresh produce — apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and leafy greens — through school districts, county education systems, and senior services authorities, with solicitations from Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) are also soliciting food procurement for state-supported living centers and senior meal delivery, respectively. Dried specialty fruit products such as red diamond nectarines fall outside the scope of these active procurements, which uniformly emphasize fresh, refrigerated, and frozen goods meeting Child Nutrition Program standards and USDA Buy American requirements. The code shows no relevant recent activity and does not warrant pursuit at this time.
