UNSPSC 50534949: Dried non GMO summer blush nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO summer blush 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 50534949 Dried non-GMO summer blush nectarines (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The recent procurement activity shows school districts, county governments, and state agencies soliciting broadly for food service and nutrition programs—grocery items, fresh produce, senior meals, and packaged food boxes—rather than the dried specialty fruit specified by the code name. The six most recent opportunities across the past four months span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts, none of which explicitly identify dried nectarines as a line item or primary procurement focus.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Hillsborough County in Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and county departments of public purchases. Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Connecticut) and South (Texas). Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items bid (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026, spanning 1,100+ line items across breakfast, produce, and protein for the National School Lunch Program); Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce contract (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, covering 200+ line items of fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026–27 school year); and Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB-26-00289, estimated value $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to dried nectarines; vendors pursuing this code should verify that their products fit within the broader grocery and produce categories state and local procurement offices are actually soliciting.
