UNSPSC 50534938: Dried non GMO red roy nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO red roy 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 50534938 Dried non-GMO red roy nectarines is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single dried-fruit product line, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it diverge significantly from this narrow scope. The opportunities posted under this code reflect broad food and consumable procurement for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations rather than dried nectarines specifically. School districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District) and county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Texas Health and Human Services Commission) are the primary issuing bodies, all sourcing fresh produce, processed grocery items, packaged meal boxes, or institutional food service across 1,100-plus line items per solicitation. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content and compliance with Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards appear consistently across school nutrition opportunities. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to dried nectarines as a distinct commodity.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Hillsborough County), Georgia (state-level procurement), Texas (HHSC El Paso facility), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), with recent opportunities weighted toward southeastern jurisdictions. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 30, 2026, grocery-items IFB for the Board of Education (over 1,100 line items, Net 45 payment terms, delivery to central warehouse and school sites); Hancock County Board of Education's June 26, 2026, fresh-produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits, delivery to three school locations, firm pricing through June 30, 2027); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 13, 2026, food and consumable products IFB for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical value $1.5 million for the prior period, September 2025–August 2026, firm fixed unit rates with CPI adjustments permitted); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' June 25, 2026, senior meals preparation and delivery ITB (estimated three-year value $17.8 million, 14 dining centers plus home delivery, mandatory Florida Adult Care Food Program Caterer List status).
