UNSPSC 50535343: Dried non GMO redglobe peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO redglobe 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 50535343 Dried non-GMO redglobe peaches is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single produce item, but state and local procurement activity under this code focuses broadly on food and consumable products for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations rather than dried peaches specifically. Recent solicitations show school districts, county commissioners, state health agencies, and boards of education sourcing fresh produce, packaged meals, grocery staples, and meal-service contracts to support child nutrition, senior feeding, and institutional dining operations. The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), county commissioners (Hillsborough County), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport), with school nutrition programs appearing as the dominant customer segment across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent activity clusters in the South and Mid-Atlantic: Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), Georgia (State of Georgia food and kitchen products solicitation, due June 22, 2026), Florida (Hillsborough County senior meal preparation and delivery, ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026 with estimated contract value of $17,832,659.90 over three years), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District summer meal boxes, due April 29, 2026), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items, IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), and Georgia (Hancock County Schools fresh produce covering over 200 line items, IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). The code shows material recent activity, though the opportunities tagged under it span a much broader food-procurement scope than dried peaches alone, suggesting either miscategorization in the source data or use of the code as a catch-all for institutional food commodity solicitations.
