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 is a Commodity code that represents a narrow agricultural product category. The recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code shows minimal or no direct solicitation for dried non-GMO babcock peaches specifically. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span much broader food procurement — school nutrition programs, senior meal services, institutional food supply contracts, and fresh produce sourcing — none of which explicitly name dried babcock peaches as a line item. School districts and county boards of education soliciting breakfast items, fresh produce, and packaged meal components make up the majority of issuing bodies, along with state health and human services agencies and county commissioners' offices managing senior nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either miscategorization in the source data or incidental inclusion of this code within much larger commodity bundles.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and South, with recent opportunities from Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education with an IFB due June 30, 2026 covering over 1,100 line items across breakfast, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and condiments under Buy American requirements; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an IFB due July 13, 2026 at an estimated historical value of $1.5 million; and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia soliciting fresh produce for school year 2027 with an IFB due June 26, 2026 covering over 200 line items. The code shows little relevant recent activity and does not appear to be a primary categorization for procurement officers seeking specialized dried fruit suppliers.
