UNSPSC 50535344: Dried non GMO redhaven peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO redhaven 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 50535344 Dried non-GMO redhaven peaches is a Commodity code that does not correspond to the goods or services state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code span comprehensive grocery procurement (including fresh produce, frozen items, beverages, dairy, meats, and prepared meal services) for school districts, counties, state agencies, and municipal governments—not dried fruit products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurements means this code shows little relevant recent activity for dried peach suppliers.

State and local food service procurement activity across the broader taxonomy is concentrated in school nutrition programs and senior meal delivery. Recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) seeking Master Grocery K-12 supply under IFB 2000004323 with response due April 27, 2026; Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) procuring commercial groceries and USDA Foods under RFP 02641 with an anticipated contract value of $3.1 million; Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing fresh produce and eggs procurement across 30 school districts with estimated spending of $5.5 million combined; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) soliciting senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB 26-00289 with estimated value of $17.8 million over three years.
