UNSPSC 50535349: Dried non GMO royal glory peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO royal glory 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 50535349 Dried non-GMO royal glory peaches (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity in the source records. Recent solicitations under this code span school districts, county boards of education, municipal purchasing offices, and state agencies seeking comprehensive grocery and food-service supplies—fresh produce, packaged meals, frozen items, dairy, proteins, condiments, and ancillary kitchen products—across full school years or multi-year terms. The single commodity code designation for a specific peach variety does not match the broad-category sourcing reflected in actual procurement notices, which group hundreds of line items across produce families, proteins, grains, and prepared foods rather than isolating individual cultivars. Recent opportunities name fresh produce alongside apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables, and melons as components of larger buys, not as standalone line items for a named peach variety.

Issuing bodies pursuing food-service supply contracts include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, and Hancock County Schools), county boards of education, the City of Bridgeport, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), the State of Georgia, and the City of Dallas. School nutrition programs account for the largest share of recent activity. Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Southeast—Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi—with additional activity in Virginia and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education under IFB (due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education seeking fresh produce across 200+ line items under IFB (due June 26, 2026); Douglas County School System issuing an RFP for food supply and distribution to serve approximately 25,500 students across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026); and Meriden Public Schools conducting an RFP for groceries, beverages, produce, and further processed USDA Foods with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3,100,000 (due February 25, 2026). The mismatch between the narrowly defined commodity code and the actual scope of state and local food-service procurement suggests this code sees little relevant activity on its own merits.
