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 that does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities block shows no purchases of dried nectarines; instead, the code captures broader food and grocery procurement by school districts, state agencies, and county governments, spanning fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, meal preparation and delivery, and institutional food service across multiple product categories. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, and Douglas County School System) and state or county agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners for senior meal delivery, the City of Dallas for catered meal delivery, and the State of Georgia). School nutrition procurement dominates the activity, with contracts supporting National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP food safety plans, and nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act.

Recent activity spans multiple states and regions, with the highest concentration in Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, and State of Georgia procurement) and significant activity in Florida, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and Mississippi. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services with electronic bids due June 30, 2026 (IFB/RFQ); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission seeking food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 under IFB HHS0017449 against a historical spend of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce across over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year with sealed bids due June 26, 2026 (IFB); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issuing an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years with bids due June 25, 2026.
