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, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The recent opportunities block shows solicitations for broad grocery items spanning produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs and senior meal services, but none of the records explicitly reference dried peaches or dried fruit as a line item, specification, or scope element.

The records that do appear under this code cover fresh produce contracts for school districts (Hancock County Schools requesting fresh produce including apples, berries, and specialty items for the 2026–27 school year; City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking over 1,100 grocery line items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services), food and consumable products for a Texas state facility (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449), senior meal preparation and delivery services for Hillsborough County, Florida (ITB-26-00289, estimated at $17.8 million over three years), and packaged meal boxes for the Pascagoula-Gautier School District's summer food program. While these opportunities involve food procurement subject to National School Lunch Program compliance and Buy American domestic-content requirements, the code's nominal commodity—dried non-GMO classic peaches—appears absent from the actual recent solicitations. Buyers pursuing this code should verify current activity directly with issuing bodies; the mismatch between the code taxonomy and posted opportunity scope suggests either archival classification or minimal current purchasing volume for this specific dried fruit commodity.
