UNSPSC 50535352: Dried non GMO september sun peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO september sun 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 50535352 Dried non-GMO September Sun peaches (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code title names a specific dried-fruit commodity, but the most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span comprehensive grocery and fresh-produce sourcing for school districts, county health and human services facilities, and municipal meal programs — categories that do not meaningfully include dried peaches as a procurement focus.

The recent opportunities center on bulk fresh and processed food sourcing: the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery RFQ covering over 1,100 line items including produce, dairy, and prepared foods (due June 30, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumables across multiple NIGP classifications for a state-supported living center (due July 13, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB spanning 200+ line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026); and Hillsborough County's three-year ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million (due June 25, 2026). School districts across Georgia, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Virginia have posted concurrent solicitations for master grocery contracts, fresh produce, and packaged meal boxes. The geographic concentration of activity is heaviest in Georgia and the Southeast, with additional activity in Connecticut, Florida, Texas, and Virginia. These solicitations reflect standard K-12 and senior nutrition procurement — standardized food service sourcing with Buy American compliance, HACCP requirements, firm fixed pricing, and multi-location delivery — rather than specialty dried-fruit procurement. The mismatch between the code's commodity specificity and the actual work being bought suggests either a tagging error or that dried September Sun peaches have minimal presence in current state and local contracting.
