UNSPSC 50535304: Dried non GMO autumn flame peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO autumn flame 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 50535304 Dried non-GMO autumn flame peaches (Commodity) does not reflect the state and local procurement activity actually being conducted under this code. Recent solicitations tagged with this code span broad food service and nutrition programs — school lunch, senior meal delivery, state-supported living facilities, and summer food service — but none specifically reference dried peaches or dried fruit products. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases is seeking over 1,100 grocery line items for school nutrition; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is procuring food and consumables for a state-supported living center; Hancock County Board of Education is sourcing fresh produce across multiple varieties; Hillsborough County is requesting senior meal preparation and delivery services; and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District is seeking packaged 7-day meal boxes for a summer food service program. Each of these opportunities spans produce, proteins, dairy, beverages, and prepared foods but does not isolate dried specialty fruits as a distinct procurement line. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county social-service agencies focused on federal nutrition-program compliance, Buy American requirements, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act standards.

Geographic activity in the recent block centers on Florida, Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Mississippi, with school districts and county governments as the predominant buyers. The City of Bridgeport's IFB closed June 30, 2026; Hancock County's fresh-produce IFB closed June 26, 2026; Hillsborough County's senior-meals ITB closed June 25, 2026; and the Texas HHS IFB closed July 13, 2026. The code shows limited targeting specificity to dried or specialty produce items — vendors pursuing this code would need to position dried peaches or similar products as components of broader food-service bids rather than as standalone commodity lines, and market presence would be strongest in regions with active school-nutrition and senior-services procurement cycles.
