UNSPSC 50534956: Dried non GMO zee glo nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO zee glo 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 50534956 Dried non-GMO zee glo nectarines (Commodity) does not match the scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single specialty dried fruit product, but the five most recent opportunities tagged to it span broad grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, food service, and meal preparation across school nutrition programs, county food service, and state-supported facilities. None of the posted solicitations reference dried nectarines or any dried fruit specification; instead, they solicit fresh produce assortments, canned and frozen goods, prepared meals, and general food items for institutional feeding programs. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the sourcing system or that procurement offices are using this commodity code as a catch-all for food-service contracting despite its narrowly defined product scope.

The recent opportunities reveal active solicitation by school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County, Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state facilities), and state agencies (State of Georgia). Issuers post competitive sealed bids (IFB, ITB) with response windows of 7 to 42 days; the Hillsborough County senior meal contract carries an estimated value of $17.8 million over three years, while the Texas HHS facility contract referenced a prior-period baseline of $1.5 million. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content appear in school-district solicitations. Geographic activity spans Florida, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Mississippi as of June 2026. Given the code-to-opportunity mismatch, pursue opportunities only if your firm's capability aligns with the actual work being bought—broad institutional food supply and meal service—rather than the specialty dried nectarine product the code nominally describes.
