UNSPSC 50534947: Dried non GMO spring bright nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO spring bright 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 50534947 Dried non-GMO spring bright nectarines is a Commodity code for a narrow dried-fruit product line, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little activity actually purchasing this specific item. The City of Bridgeport, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District have all posted solicitations in the past five months, yet their buys span fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), frozen and shelf-stable grocery items, senior meal services, and packaged meal boxes—none of which reference dried nectarines. School districts and state human services agencies drive the volume here, typically through Food Service departments supporting National School Lunch Program compliance and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. When these buyers do procure fresh or processed fruit, the buys involve broad produce categories with Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products, firm fixed pricing, prepaid freight delivered to central warehouses or school sites, and compliance with USDA nutrition, labeling, and allergen standards.

The recent solicitations show activity across Florida, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce (200+ line items) due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, posted a comprehensive grocery bid (1,100+ line items including fruits) due June 30, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million. The code shows little evidence of state or local procurement specifically targeting dried nectarines as a distinct commodity, suggesting either misclassification of opportunities in the underlying database or minimal market activity for this product among public buyers at the state and local level.
