UNSPSC 50535346: Dried non GMO regina peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO regina 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 50535346 Dried non-GMO regina peaches is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity shows little direct solicitation for this specific product. The code nominally covers a single dried-fruit line item, yet the opportunities posted under it span broad food and consumable procurement across school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply — categories in which dried peaches would appear as one SKU among hundreds rather than as a standalone focus. State and local governments do purchase food products for school lunch programs, senior nutrition services, and institutional dining, and these procurements are subject to Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content; however, the opportunities recorded do not isolate or emphasize dried peach procurement as a category in itself. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county governments (Hillsborough County in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (Georgia), reflecting the diversity of public food-service purchasing.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026, through its OpenGov e-Procurement portal for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, which mandates 51 percent domestic agricultural content and compliance with Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 11, 2026 (historical annual value $1.5 million); and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026. None of these solicitations is documented as addressing dried peaches specifically, and the code's utility for targeting procurement opportunities appears limited by the absence of category-level buying signals for this commodity.
