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 is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single dried fruit product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a much broader scope of food and nutrition procurement spanning fresh produce, packaged meals, grocery staples, and prepared meal services for schools, senior centers, and state-supported facilities. State and local governments buying under this code include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and special-purpose nutrition programs. The work involves sourcing USDA-compliant food and consumables that meet Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, Buy American domestic agricultural content thresholds (typically 51 percent), and vendor-specific food safety and recall documentation including HACCP plans and blind-tasting protocols.

Recent activity spans multiple states and regions. The Bridgeport Board of Education posted IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items due June 30, 2026, with June 30, 2026 close (Connecticut). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce under IFB #SN002-2027 with bids due June 26, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 11, 2026, on a prior-period baseline of $1.5 million. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida sought senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB-26-00289 with bids due June 25, 2026 and an estimated three-year contract value of $17,832,659.90. The State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026. Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi requested bids for packaged 7-day meal boxes under Bid No. 609-26 due April 29, 2026. The code shows no clear concentration by issuing body or geography — activity spans school districts, counties, state agencies, and senior nutrition programs across the South and mid-Atlantic region, suggesting that the UNSPSC classification itself may be misaligned with the actual commodities being procured in these opportunities.
