UNSPSC 50535350: Dried non GMO royal lady peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO royal lady 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 50535350 Dried non-GMO royal lady peaches is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this designation show little alignment with the code's scope. The opportunities instead focus on bulk grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, meal preparation services, and institutional food service—categories spanning fresh apples, berries, vegetables, eggs, and prepared meals rather than dried peaches specifically. School districts, county boards of education, municipal purchasing offices, and state health agencies dominate the issuing bodies, with Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia accounting for most recent activity. The absence of solicitations explicitly seeking dried non-GMO royal lady peaches suggests either limited demand for this specific commodity in state and local procurement or a code classification mismatch in how opportunities are tagged in available sources.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (RFP BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce across multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables, due June 26, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia (IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12, due April 27, 2026); and the Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined).
