UNSPSC 50535319: Dried non GMO elegant lady peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO elegant lady 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 50535319 Dried non-GMO elegant lady peaches, a Commodity code, does not reflect the composition of recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific dried fruit product, yet the recent opportunities dataset shows no solicitations for dried elegant lady peaches or any comparable single-SKU dried fruit procurement. Instead, issuing bodies are buying fresh produce as part of broader school nutrition and food service contracts that span dozens or hundreds of line items—apples, berries, carrots, peppers, and other fresh staples—alongside processed foods, dairy, proteins, and supplies. The dried peaches code sits outside this mainstream activity and does not align with the scope of work actually being procured under the posting opportunities.

Recent fresh produce and food service procurement is dominated by school districts and county education agencies across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi, along with select state and county government food service operations. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 bid deadline; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) soliciting a Master Grocery K-12 contract covering 45 schools and distribution facilities with an April 27, 2026 submission deadline; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 11, 2026 due date and an estimated $1.5 million historical annual spend. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases posted an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for school lunch with a June 30, 2026 deadline. Vendors pursuing this code should recognize that the actual buying occurs at the broader fresh produce, prepared foods, and school nutrition grocery family level, not at narrow single-commodity SKU codes.
