UNSPSC 50534942: Dried non GMO ruby diamond nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO ruby 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 50534942 Dried non-GMO ruby diamond nectarines, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity represented in recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code. The eight recent opportunities spanning June 2026 through January 2026 consistently solicit comprehensive food service sourcing—fresh produce (apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus), groceries (breakfast items, frozen products, condiments, grains, meats), beverages, dairy, eggs, and supplies for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service operations. No solicitation mentions nectarines, dried or otherwise, or any dried produce category. The mismatch suggests a tagging error rather than genuine market activity aligned with the code's nominal scope.

State and local issuers across school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipal purchasing offices drive activity in the food-service-supply space, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant buyer segment. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia (Douglas County School System RFPs for fresh produce and food supply; Bulloch County Board of Education grocery bid; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce bid; State of Georgia fresh produce IFB), followed by activity in Florida (Hillsborough County senior meal services), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center; City of Dallas meal delivery), and other jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, for grocery supply to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens); Douglas County School System Food Supply and Distribution Services (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026, for main-line food service distribution supporting 32 schools, approximately $9 million annual expenditure); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners Senior Meals (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026, estimated contract value $17.8 million over three years); and City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases Grocery Items for the Board of Education (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, spanning 1,100+ line items with Buy American domestic-content requirements). All solicitations mandate compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP food safety protocols, nutritional labeling, and vendor insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2 million in general liability coverage.
