UNSPSC 50534943: Dried non GMO ruby sweet nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO ruby sweet 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 50534943 Dried non GMO ruby sweet nectarines is a Commodity code that does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities solicited under this code span broad grocery and food-service categories — fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus), packaged meal boxes, senior meal preparation and delivery, and institutional food and consumable products — but none of the postings name dried nectarines as a line item or scope element. School districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners' offices have issued the recent opportunities, typically to support school lunch programs, senior nutrition programs, or state institutional food service. The issuing bodies span school districts in Georgia (Hancock County), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier), and Connecticut (Bridgeport), as well as state-level agencies in Texas (Health and Human Services Commission) and Georgia, and county-level social services (Hillsborough County, Florida).

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across the 2026–27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's bid for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years (bids due June 25, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million (bids due July 13, 2026). The code shows no substantive recent alignment with dried nectarines specifically; practitioners should verify whether the commodity is actually procured under a different UNSPSC code or whether this code reflects a misclassification in the posting system.
