UNSPSC 50535339: Dried non GMO majestic peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO majestic 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 50535339 Dried non-GMO majestic peaches is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity in the source. The recent opportunities tagged to this code overwhelmingly solicit comprehensive grocery and food-service supplies — fresh produce, proteins, dairy, bakery items, condiments, and related kitchen products — for school districts, state agencies, counties, and municipalities. Dried peaches do not appear in any of the representative solicitations. The code appears misapplied across all recent postings, suggesting a data-tagging issue rather than legitimate market demand for the specific commodity named.

State and local procurement under this code (as tagged) spans school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, senior meal services, and municipal food operations. Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery-items RFQ (IFB) due June 30, 2026, covering over 1,100 line items for school food service under National School Lunch Program rules with 51% Buy American domestic-ingredient requirements; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with an estimated annual value of $1.5 million; the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services, due June 25, 2026, valued at $17.8 million over three years; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution to 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students, due February 18, 2026, with estimated annual spend of $9 million. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County, Meriden Public Schools, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Pascagoula-Gautier, Douglas County, Hancock County) and state or county agencies (Texas HHSC, Georgia statewide, Hillsborough County). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi, with school-district procurement dominating. The solicitations consistently require firm fixed pricing, HACCP food-safety plans, Buy American compliance, extensive insurance (typically $1–2 million general liability), and delivery to multiple sites on fixed weekly schedules. The apparent code-taxonomy misalignment suggests reviewing the posted code assignment before allocating pursuit resources.
