UNSPSC 50535340: Dried non GMO o'henry peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO o'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 50535340 Dried non-GMO O'Henry peaches, a Commodity code, does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried peaches or any similar commodity; instead, the opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly involve fresh produce, comprehensive grocery and food-service procurement, and meal-preparation contracts spanning school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, senior meal services, and municipal food-delivery operations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the source data or that dried peaches represent a negligible line item within broader food-procurement vehicles.

The issuing bodies pursuing food contracts at scale include large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Meriden Public Schools, Connecticut; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Bulloch County Board of Education, Georgia; Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia; Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Mississippi; Douglas County School System, Georgia), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission; State of Georgia), municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; City of Dallas, Texas), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). The most recent representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) for grocery supply to 45 schools plus distribution facilities with a July 1, 2026 start; Meriden Public Schools' RFP 026-41 (due February 25, 2026) for commercial groceries, beverages, produce, and processed USDA Foods across 13 sites with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3,100,000; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution to serve approximately 25,500 students with estimated annual spending of approximately $9,000,000; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB-26-00289 (due June 25, 2026) for senior meal preparation and delivery with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90. Geographic concentration is highest in Georgia (multiple school districts, state procurement), Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Virginia. Pursuit of this code as currently classified is not recommended; confirm the correct UNSPSC assignment with the issuing body before proceeding.
