UNSPSC 50534950: Dried non GMO summer brite nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO summer brite 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 50534950 Dried non GMO summer brite nectarines, a Commodity code, nominally describes a single dried-fruit product line. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reflect a sharp mismatch: the solicitations are for broad grocery and food-service procurement — fresh produce, breakfast items, condiments, prepared meals, and kitchen supplies — not dried nectarines specifically. School districts, county food-service operations, state health agencies, and municipal education departments are the primary issuing bodies, all of which buy meal components through school nutrition, senior meal, and institutional cafeteria programs. The scope of work spans institutional meal procurement to support National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions, and nutrition standards such as the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. Vendors must manage delivery to multiple sites, maintain HACCP plans, accept electronic ordering through systems like LINQ School Solutions, carry significant liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence), and comply with debarment, E-Verify, and background-screening requirements. The code shows little activity directly tied to dried nectarines; the tagging appears to reflect a broader categorization of food commodities rather than product-specific procurement.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) solicited over 1,100 grocery line items for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 delivery to school central warehouse and site locations with firm fixed pricing and Net 45 payment terms. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB, due June 26, 2026) sought fresh produce across 200+ line items for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 with three delivery locations and a requirement for 51 percent domestic content in processed items. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) requested food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida (ITB2600289, ITB, due June 25, 2026) awarded a three-year senior meal preparation and delivery contract valued at $17,832,659.90 to licensed Florida caterers. The code's recent activity does not align with its nominal dried-nectarine scope, limiting relevance for vendors specializing in that product line.
