UNSPSC 50535306: Dried non GMO babcock peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO babcock 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 50535306 Dried non-GMO Babcock peaches (Commodity) encompasses fresh and processed produce supplied to school districts, county governments, and state agencies for food service operations, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no directly relevant opportunities — the recent solicitations tagged to this code involve comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, and meal service contracts that do not isolate dried peaches as a line item or primary commodity. State and local buyers posting under broader produce and food-service codes (such as fresh produce, groceries, and food supplies) do solicit individual fruit varieties including apples, berries, citrus, and melons, but the available records do not show school districts, counties, municipalities, or state agencies requesting dried non-GMO Babcock peaches as a standalone or named product line in current RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs.

The issuing bodies active in state and local food procurement span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia; Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut; Douglas County School System in Georgia; Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county governments and municipalities (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida; City of Dallas in Texas; City of Meriden in Connecticut), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state general-purchasing offices (State of Georgia). While these entities collectively represent substantial procurement volume for fresh and dried produce, processed fruits, and prepared meals with contract values ranging from approximately $1.5 million to $17.8 million across observed opportunities, the specific commodity of dried non-GMO Babcock peaches does not appear in recent solicitation notices, indicating either minimal or no current demand under this Commodity code at the state and local level.
