UNSPSC 50535309: Dried non GMO classic peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO classic 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 50535309 Dried non-GMO classic peaches (Commodity) does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities dataset shows no solicitations for dried peaches; instead, the code appears in school nutrition and institutional food service RFPs that span comprehensive grocery and fresh-produce procurement—including fresh apples, berries, vegetables, eggs, and prepared meals—with dried peaches, if procured at all, embedded as a line item within broader food-supply contracts rather than a standalone commodity purchase.

School districts, county boards of education, and municipal food-service departments dominate the issuing-body mix across the recent activity block. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (on behalf of Bridgeport Board of Education), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posted grocery or produce RFPs and IFBs in the first half of 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, and the City of Dallas and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) sought meal preparation and delivery services. Recent activity clusters in Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham), Connecticut (Bridgeport, Meriden), Virginia (Fairfax), and Florida (Hillsborough), with additional procurement from Texas and Mississippi. Representative recent solicitations include Meriden Public Schools RFP 026-41 (commercial groceries and USDA Foods for 8,200 students, $3.1 million estimated value, proposals due February 25, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (Master Grocery K-12 for 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, sealed bids due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 (food supply and distribution for 25,500 students, approximately $9 million estimated annual spend, proposals due February 18, 2026). All solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP food-safety certification, Child Nutrition Label requirements, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges. The code's nominal scope does not align with observed procurement activity, making pursuit under this specific commodity classification problematic.
