UNSPSC 50535345: Dried non GMO redtop peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO redtop 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 50535345 Dried non-GMO redtop peaches, a Commodity code, does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's nominal scope—a specific dried-fruit product—bears no relationship to the food-service contracting being solicited; recent opportunities posted under this code cover comprehensive school nutrition procurement (grocery staples, fresh produce, eggs, and meal preparation services), senior meal delivery, and institutional food supply and distribution spanning multiple states. State and local governments are not sourcing dried redtop peaches as a line item or focal category in any of the posted solicitations. School districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and cities are issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for full-service food supply and meal delivery—broad-based nutrition support for K-12 students, seniors, and supported-living residents—not specialty dried produce. The code appears to be a tagging mismatch; the actual procurement activity spans food distribution, fresh produce, groceries, and meal services under what should be broader commodity classifications.

Recent opportunities show schools and districts in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia soliciting vendors for master grocery contracts, fresh produce annual supplies, school nutrition programs with USDA compliance, and senior meal delivery services. Issuing bodies include Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Douglas County School System (Georgia). Representative solicitations include Fairfax County's Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, April 27, 2026, due date, serving 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens with firm fixed-price grocery supply); Hancock County Schools' Fresh Produce bid for 2026-27 (IFB, June 26, 2026, due date, covering 200+ line items of produce); and Hillsborough County's senior meals preparation and delivery services (ITB 26-00289, June 25, 2026, due date, $17.8 million over three years). The code as currently tagged does not support meaningful business development targeting of dried-redtop-peach suppliers into state and local food procurement.
