UNSPSC 50534955: Dried non GMO zee fire nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO zee 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 50534955 Dried non-GMO nectarines, a Commodity code, is not supported by recent state and local procurement activity. The only opportunities tagged with this code in the recent opportunities block are generic grocery, food service, and produce solicitations that do not specify dried nectarines or closely related specialty produce items as distinct line items or focuses.

The source records show school districts, county education systems, and municipalities procuring broad food categories—fresh produce staples (apples, berries, carrots, leafy greens, citrus), meal preparation and delivery services, and comprehensive grocery supply—across Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, but none isolate dried non-GMO nectarines as a solicited commodity. Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) procures commercial groceries and fresh produce; Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia) solicits comprehensive food and nutrition products; Hancock County Schools (Georgia) requests fresh produce; Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia) solicits fresh produce; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issues RFPs for fresh produce and eggs, food supply, and distribution—yet dried specialty fruits do not appear as specified items. The two state-level solicitations (State of Georgia fresh produce and food supplies) and the Hillsborough County senior meal delivery contract also do not address dried nectarines. This code shows no current momentum in state and local procurement.
