UNSPSC 50535303: Dried non GMO august lady peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO august lady peaches 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 50535303 Dried non GMO August Lady peaches is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy dried fruit products under this code primarily as ingredients for school meal programs and institutional food service, though recent solicitations tagged to this code show little activity specifically for dried peaches. The representative opportunities in the recent pipeline span fresh produce and bulk grocery items for school nutrition, senior meal services, and institutional dining rather than dried fruit commodities. Issuing bodies soliciting grocery and produce contracts include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Hillsborough County in Florida), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). These jurisdictions procure under nutrition programs including the National School Lunch Program, Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program, and Adult Care Food Program, all subject to Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content and compliance with federal nutrition standards.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, with posted opportunities from Texas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Connecticut between April and June 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce with delivery to three school sites (due June 26, 2026); the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items including fruits for the Board of Education (due June 30, 2026); and Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years. However, none of these recent solicitations explicitly names dried peaches or dried non-GMO fruit products in their published scope summaries, suggesting limited current procurement activity specifically under this commodity code.
