UNSPSC 50535316: Dried non GMO earlirich peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO earlirich 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 50535316 Dried non-GMO earlirich peaches, a Commodity code, reflects state and local governments' procurement of specialty dried fruit products for institutional food service, though the code shows limited direct alignment with recent school meal and senior nutrition solicitations. State and local buyers under this code area include school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners' offices supporting cafeteria operations, senior meal programs, and institutional nutrition services. The work typically involves supplying dried or processed fruit items meeting USDA Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in many cases), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and food safety compliance including HACCP plans, with delivery to central warehouses or multiple school and facility sites on firm fixed pricing terms and Net 30 to Net 45 payment cycles.

Recent activity under the broader produce and food categories shows geographic spread across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport's Department of Public Purchases posted an RFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (including fruits and dried goods) for the Bridgeport Board of Education on June 30, 2026, with delivery to a central warehouse and school sites and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty items for school delivery with an IFB due June 26, 2026. The Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi requested bids on packaged 7-day meal boxes for the Summer Food Service Program with sealed bids due April 29, 2026. The code itself shows minimal recent standalone activity; dried peaches appear as one line item among hundreds in broader institutional food procurement, not as the primary focus of any posted solicitation.
