UNSPSC 50535325: Dried non GMO flat type peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO flat type 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 50535325 Dried non-GMO flat type peaches, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect demand for dried peaches as a distinct line item; instead, they capture broad-based food service solicitations for school districts, municipalities, and state agencies that may include dried fruit among hundreds of other grocery and produce line items. The actual buying under similar codes spans fresh produce contracts, comprehensive grocery supply programs, meal preparation services, and commodity-based nutrition support for K-12 schools, senior meal programs, and state-supported facilities.

State and local issuing bodies purchasing food products include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Meriden Public Schools), county commissioners (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), municipal governments (City of Dallas, City of Bridgeport), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services with over 1,100 line items due June 30, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical annual value of $1.5 million, closing July 11, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 produce line items with response deadline June 26, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution services to 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of $9,000,000, closing February 18, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school district RFPs and Georgia state solicitations), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Florida (Hillsborough County), Texas (HHCS, Dallas), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier). Dried peaches as a specific commodity line does not appear in the posted bid abstracts; the code appears misaligned with current procurement volume and specificity.
