UNSPSC 50535335: Dried non GMO kaweah peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO kaweah 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 50535335 Dried non GMO kaweah peaches is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single agricultural product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show minimal direct relevance to the specific product. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span comprehensive food service procurement across school districts, county governments, and state agencies purchasing fresh produce, groceries, prepared meals, and related food products in large quantities to support child nutrition programs, senior meals, and institutional food service. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, and Douglas County School System), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipal governments (City of Dallas, City of Meriden). School districts represent the dominant buyer category, with multiple concurrent solicitations for fresh produce, master grocery contracts, and food supply distribution reflecting year-round institutional demand.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic—Georgia (fresh produce IFB, school nutrition grocery bids from Bulloch County and Savannah-Chatham County, food supply RFPs from Douglas County), Florida (Hillsborough County senior meals), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), and Texas (HHSC state supported living center). Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with a response deadline of April 27, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; the Bridgeport Board of Education's solicitation BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026 with Buy American compliance and National School Lunch Program standards; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. The code shows substantial recent activity but primarily as a catch-all classification for broad food procurement rather than as a vehicle for sourcing the specific dried peach product named in the code definition.
