UNSPSC 50535333: Dried non GMO john henry peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO john henry 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 50535333 Dried non-GMO John Henry peaches (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The most recent opportunities solicited under the code span broad grocery procurement, fresh produce, senior meal services, and packaged meal boxes for school nutrition programs—none of which specifically reference dried peaches or specialty dried fruit as line items. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery goods for the Bridgeport Board of Education (due June 30, 2026), and the Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, and specialty items (due June 26, 2026), but neither solicitation identifies dried peaches or John Henry-branded products as required or optional commodities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services issued an IFB for food and consumable products supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, covering NIGP classes for food service and canteen operations but without specification of dried-fruit categories. Similarly, Hillsborough County in Florida issued an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years (due June 25, 2026), and the State of Georgia posted a solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026).

Recent activity under this code reflects commodity procurement by school districts, county governments, a state health and human services agency, and a county board of commissioners across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Mississippi. State and local procurement offices appear to tag broad food and grocery solicitations under this code without granular commodity differentiation. A vendor with dried-peach inventory would likely compete under this code only if a solicitation explicitly lists dried fruit or dried peaches as an allowable or preferred line item, which the recent record does not show. Monitor future school nutrition and senior services RFPs for explicit inclusion of dried-fruit categories, particularly those with Buy American provisions requiring domestic agricultural content.
