UNSPSC 50535324: Dried non GMO flame crest peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO flame crest 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 50535324 Dried non GMO flame crest peaches, a Commodity code, nominally names a single dried-fruit product line but sees recent state and local procurement activity across a much broader food-supply scope. State and local governments are not soliciting dried flame crest peaches specifically under this code; instead, issuing bodies tag this code when buying aggregated grocery items, fresh produce, meals, and food-service consumables for school nutrition programs, county health services, senior meal programs, and institutional food service. The actual work being procured includes multi-line-item produce tenders (over 1,100 grocery line items or 200+ fresh-produce items), meal preparation and delivery for congregate and home-based senior services, packaged meal boxes for summer food programs, and food and consumable products for state residential facilities. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), counties (Hillsborough County, Hancock County), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipal procurement offices acting on behalf of schools or nutrition departments.

Activity in the past four months shows concentration in the Southeast and Texas. Bridgeport, Connecticut; Hancock County, Georgia; Hillsborough County, Florida; and Pascagoula, Mississippi each posted IFBs or ITBs for school lunch groceries or senior meals between April and June 2026. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for grocery items (BNB052266) due June 30, 2026, spanning breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, fruits, vegetables, and dairy with Buy American requirements (51% domestic agricultural ingredients) and delivery to a central warehouse and school sites. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce (SN002-2027) due June 26, 2026, with 200+ line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, citrus, and leafy greens, firm pricing through June 2027, and delivery to three school locations. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB-26-00289) with an estimated value of $17,832,659.90 over three years, due June 25, 2026, requiring vendors to be licensed caterers on the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs list. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449) with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and a July 13, 2026 deadline. The code shows little activity outside school nutrition and senior meal contexts; the mismatch between the nominal commodity (dried flame crest peaches) and the breadth of actual procurement signals either broad tagging practice or a systematic miscoding in state and local databases.
