UNSPSC 50534936: Dried non GMO red gold nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO red gold 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 50534936 Dried non-GMO red gold nectarines, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The six most recent opportunities solicited by state and local issuing bodies—spanning school districts, county commissioners, state health agencies, and board of education nutrition services—focus on broad grocery procurement, fresh produce contracts, senior meal preparation, and packaged meal boxes, with dried nectarines either absent from the line-item scope or not identified as a distinct award category. The City of Bridgeport's bid for over 1,100 line-item grocery items, Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable procurement for its El Paso facility, Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce RFP with over 200 produce line items, and Hillsborough County's three-year senior meal delivery contract all reflect category-wide agricultural sourcing rather than single-commodity specification. The Pascagoula-Gautier School District's packaged meal box procurement and Georgia's state-level food and kitchen products solicitation similarly do not isolate dried stone fruits as a defined procurement line.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and South—Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Texas—with school districts and county health agencies dominating the issuing-body mix. Recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for school lunch program groceries due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for school year 2026–27 due June 26, 2026; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for senior meals valued at $17.8 million over three years due June 25, 2026. None of these opportunities explicitly names dried nectarines as a commodity line or specifies non-GMO dried stone-fruit procurement. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its nominal scope.
