UNSPSC 50535338: Dried non GMO loring peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO loring 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 50535338 Dried non-GMO Loring peaches, a Commodity code, encompasses dried stone fruits and related preserved produce supplied to school districts, county governments, and state health agencies for food service operations. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span school lunch programs, senior meal services, and institutional nutrition operations, though none of the opportunities explicitly highlight dried peaches as a line item; rather, the code appears in a broader procurement context where fresh and processed produce are procured together under consolidated food and nutrition contracts. State and local buyers use this code when sourcing against aggregated grocery and food-service inventories that include multiple produce categories, with school districts and county boards of education representing the primary issuing bodies in the recent record, alongside state health agencies managing institutional food operations.

The geographic spread reflected in recent activity includes Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's National School Lunch Program (bids due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables for the 2026-27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical monthly value around $125,000 (proposals due July 13, 2026); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years (bids due June 25, 2026). The Bridgeport and Hancock County solicitations both enforce Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content, and Hancock County's produce bid specifies delivery to three school sites with firm fixed pricing throughout the July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 contract term.
