UNSPSC 50534946: Dried non GMO snowqueen nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO snowqueen 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 50534946 Dried non-GMO snowqueen nectarines is a Commodity code that does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to it. The code nominally covers a specific dried fruit product, but the recent opportunities solicited under this code span broad food service procurement — grocery supply contracts for school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery services, fresh produce for school districts and state facilities, and comprehensive meal preparation for municipal events. None of the posted solicitations actually solicit dried nectarines or dried fruit items; instead, they request fresh produce, fresh eggs, comprehensive grocery assortments, and meal preparation services. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or that the code has been applied as a catch-all for food-service procurement more broadly.

State and local jurisdictions posting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County in Florida), city governments (Bridgeport, Dallas, and Meriden), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and state-supported facilities (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). School districts are the dominant issuing bodies, with three to four district-level procurements posted concurrently in recent months. Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, and Virginia, with the highest concentration in Georgia school districts. Representative solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (response due April 27, 2026, for a one-year term starting July 1, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's RFQ for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education (response due June 30, 2026, for a term from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items (response due June 26, 2026), and Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services ($17.8 million estimated value over three years, response due June 25, 2026). Buy American provisions requiring 51% domestic agricultural content appear consistently; most contracts run July 1 through June 30 annually and emphasize HACCP compliance, nutritional standards, and firm fixed pricing. The code shows no recent activity in actual dried fruit procurement and should not be used by vendors sourcing that product line.
