UNSPSC 50535342: Dried non GMO red lady peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO red lady 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 50535342 Dried non GMO red lady peaches is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for dried peaches or any dried-fruit products; instead, state and local bodies have tagged this code to broad school-nutrition and institutional food-service procurements spanning fresh produce, grocery staples, meal delivery, and food distribution across multiple categories and hundreds of line items. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing patterns suggests the code is either misapplied in posting systems, overridden by broader commodity classifications during intake, or used as a catch-all tag for food-service contracts that encompass but do not focus on dried peaches.

Recent state and local procurement activity under this code entry is driven by school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and county commissioners procuring comprehensive food-service supply and meal-delivery contracts. School-nutrition programs dominate the activity: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supply due April 27, 2026; Douglas County School System (Georgia) posted RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperative districts, estimated at $5.5 million annually, due March 4, 2026; and Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited comprehensive food products and supplies for 2026–2027 due May 4, 2026. Non-school buyers also appear: Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) sought senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB 26-00289) valued at $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured food and consumables for a state-supported living center under IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026. The geographic spread includes Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Connecticut, Mississippi, and other states, with Georgia school districts appearing in multiple recent solicitations. Given the code's poor alignment with actual purchasing patterns, pursue this code only if your firm supplies comprehensive food-service products or meal-delivery logistics to school districts and institutional buyers; isolated dried-peach vendors will find limited relevance in the posted opportunities.
