UNSPSC 50534957: Dried non GMO zeegrand nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO zeegrand 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 50534957 Dried non-GMO zeegrand nectarines is a Commodity code that nominally names a single dried-fruit product, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of dried nectarines. Instead, the opportunities show school districts, county governments, state health and human services agencies, and municipal purchasing offices buying comprehensive food service and nutrition products — fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, proteins, condiments, beverages, and packaged meals — to support child nutrition programs, senior meals, and institutional food service. The code mismatch appears systematic: none of the five most recent opportunities mention dried nectarines or align with the code's stated commodity scope. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi all posting RFPs and IFBs for multi-category food procurement. State agencies including Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the State of Georgia also solicited under this code, as did Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida for senior meal services.

The geographic spread spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi based on the most recent opportunities. Representative current solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education requesting sealed bids on fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026 at 12:00 p.m., covering over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty produce with delivery to three school locations and firm pricing through June 30, 2027; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting bids on over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department under solicitation BNB052266, with electronic bids due June 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through OpenGov e-Procurement Portal, subject to Buy American requirements (51% domestic agricultural ingredients) and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners requesting competitive sealed bids for senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB-26-00289, with bids due June 25, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., covering an estimated value of $17,832,659.90 over three years across 14 dining centers and seven senior centers with annual CPI-U adjustments. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with dried nectarines specifically.
