UNSPSC 50534951: Dried non GMO summer diamond nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO summer diamond 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 50534951 Dried non-GMO summer diamond nectarines is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity currently tagged under it in state and local markets. Recent opportunities posted under this code span broad food-service categories — fresh produce, packaged meals, nutrition services, and general grocery procurement — rather than the specific dried-fruit item the code nominally identifies. The opportunities solicited under this code show school districts, county governments, and state agencies procuring meal services and food supplies for nutrition programs, senior services, and child-nutrition initiatives, with compliance requirements centered on USDA Buy American provisions, nutritional standards, HACCP food-safety protocols, and the National School Lunch Program framework.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center), Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education and State of Georgia), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items spanning produce, dairy, and prepared goods with a due date of June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200 line items with a due date of June 26, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a due date of July 13, 2026 and historical value of $1.5 million; and Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 and a due date of June 25, 2026. The code shows active procurement but sparse direct relevance to dried nectarines specifically; vendors should verify actual commodity scope before pursuing opportunities posted under this taxonomy designation.
