UNSPSC 50534952: Dried non GMO summer fire nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO summer fire 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 50534952 Dried non-GMO summer fire nectarines is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific dried fruit product, but state and local procurement activity tagged under this code reflects broad food-service purchasing across school districts, county health agencies, and municipal food programs—not dried nectarines in particular. Recent solicitations show school nutrition departments and state-supported living facilities buying packaged grocery items, fresh produce, prepared meals, and meal-delivery services under this designation, suggesting the code is applied as a catch-all for food-category procurement rather than for a narrow commodity line. The mix of issuing bodies includes independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county commissioners (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), and state purchasing offices (Georgia). School districts dominate recent activity, typically seeking fresh produce, grocery staples, or prepared-meal services to support federally funded child nutrition programs.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Florida, Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas, with school districts and state agencies in the Southeast and South active in the second and third quarters of 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty produce for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery-item line items (due June 30, 2026) including breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat products for the Bridgeport Board of Education under the National School Lunch Program with 51-percent Buy American agricultural-ingredient requirements; and Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services (due June 25, 2026) valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years. All school-nutrition solicitations enforce Buy American provisions, Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges. The code shows no recent activity aligned to dried nectarines specifically; the mismatch between code name and actual procurement scope signals either broad categorization practice or tagging error in the state and local system.
