UNSPSC 50534948: Dried non GMO spring red nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO spring red 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 50534948 Dried non-GMO spring red nectarines is a Commodity code that identifies a single dried-fruit product line. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of dried nectarines specifically; instead, they capture broad grocery and food-service solicitations spanning fresh produce, meal preparation, school nutrition, and senior dining. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited over 1,100 line items of breakfast items, frozen products, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meat products for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services in an IFB posted June 30, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under an IFB with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requested fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits—over 200 line items for school nutrition. These solicitations indicate that state and local food procurement under this code encompasses broad fresh and processed food categories for school districts, counties, and state health facilities rather than dried nectarines as a standalone commodity.

Geographic activity centers on Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with additional activity in Mississippi. The Bridgeport, Connecticut school board procurement (IFB due June 30, 2026) required 51 percent domestic agricultural content under Buy American provisions and compliance with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. The Hancock County, Georgia schools procurement (IFB due June 26, 2026) similarly mandated 51 percent domestic content in processed products and specified firm pricing with no separate fuel charges. Hillsborough County, Florida's senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB due June 25, 2026) carried an estimated three-year contract value of $17,832,659.90 and required bidders to be licensed caterers on the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs Adult Care Food Program Caterer List. The Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi solicited sealed bids for Summer Food Service Program packaged meal boxes (due April 29, 2026). The code shows no recent opportunities specifically for dried nectarines, suggesting the classification may reflect a data-entry or system-tagging mismatch rather than active procurement demand under this Commodity designation.
