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, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification do not reflect dried nectarines—they instead cover broad-spectrum school nutrition and senior meal programs spanning fresh produce, grocery staples, and prepared meal services. The code shows a classification mismatch: opportunities tagged to this Commodity code are actually soliciting fresh apples, berries, vegetables, breakfast cereals, frozen goods, condiments, and meal preparation rather than the specific dried fruit product the code nominates. State and local buyers using this code include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state purchasing departments (Georgia). The work being solicited spans National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content, nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, HACCP food safety plans, and delivery to multiple school sites and senior centers.

Recent activity appears across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (breakfast, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy) for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, due June 30, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually, due July 13, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits), due June 26, 2026; and Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services at an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million, due June 25, 2026. The code's recent posting history suggests limited actual procurement of dried nectarines specifically; vendors should verify whether their product aligns with the broader grocery and food-service opportunities state and local jurisdictions are actively pursuing under this misclassified code.
