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 is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, frames a narrow product line within broader school nutrition and institutional food procurement. The recent opportunities show that state and local governments buy dried peaches as line items within large, multi-category food and grocery solicitations serving school districts, state health and human services facilities, and county senior nutrition programs. The scope of work spans institutional food service procurement where dried peaches appear alongside fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, snacks, and beverages to support federally funded programs including the National School Lunch Program, Summer Food Service Program, and Adult Care Food Program. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners). Most recent opportunities are bundled grocery or produce solicitations rather than single-product procurements; dried peaches appear as one line item among hundreds in larger food-service contracts.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and South, with recent solicitations from Georgia, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 RFQ for over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, due June 30, 2026, with Buy American compliance requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh and specialty produce spanning over 200 line items with a response date of June 26, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with historical annual spend around $1.5 million and a response date of July 11, 2026. All recent solicitations impose firm fixed pricing for the contract term, require HACCP or food safety documentation, mandate Buy American compliance where applicable, and specify prepaid freight delivery to multiple school or facility sites on defined schedules.
