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 does not reflect the substance of current state and local procurement activity under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food procurement — encompassing fresh produce, groceries, meal preparation and delivery, and bulk food supplies — but the code's narrow commodity description (dried nectarines) appears misaligned with the actual goods and services being solicited. School districts and state agencies are buying comprehensive fresh produce assortments, processed foods, dairy, proteins, condiments, and meal services rather than a single dried fruit item. The mismatch suggests either broad tagging at higher UNSPSC tiers or categorical misclassification at the posting stage.

Activity clusters around school nutrition procurement and senior services across multiple states and issuing bodies. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus for the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 due date; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract through an IFB (2000004323) covering food product supply and delivery to 45 schools with April 27, 2026 deadline; Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB (#043025) for comprehensive food products and supplies for the 2026–27 school year with May 4, 2026 closure; and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, through its Department of Public Purchases, sought bids on over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education with June 30, 2026 deadline under Buy American requirements. The Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) procurement (RFP 026-41) for commercial groceries and USDA Foods targeted approximately $3.1 million in value with February 25, 2026 proposal deadline. State-level activity includes fresh produce solicitation (Georgia, IFB #4 2027–2026, due May 27, 2026) and food and consumable products procurement by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026). Senior services procurement includes the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) seeking meal preparation and delivery services under ITB 26-00289 with estimated three-year value of $17.8 million and June 25, 2026 deadline. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Georgia (multiple school districts, state agency) and Florida, with activity also present in Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and Mississippi.
