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, covers dried stone fruits and specialty dried produce items purchased by state and local school districts, county health and human services agencies, and municipal school boards for child nutrition programs, institutional food service, and senior meal programs. The recent opportunities show school nutrition departments and state-supported living centers sourcing dried and fresh produce as line items within broader grocery and food-service contracts rather than as standalone specialty commodity procurements. The work being solicited spans breakfast and lunch program ingredients, with dried fruits appearing as components in multi-hundred-line-item grocery bids that emphasize Buy American domestic agricultural content (minimum 51 percent), nutritional compliance with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, allergen restrictions (no nuts or nut oils), and whole-grain standards.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Mid-Atlantic: the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an RFQ for over 1,100 grocery line items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) serving the Bridgeport Board of Education; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items; and the State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026). Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state institutional food service agencies. Dried peaches as a specific commodity line item appear embedded within these broader grocery and produce contracts rather than as separately solicited specialty items, suggesting limited direct pursuit opportunity under this code in isolation.
