UNSPSC 50535355: Dried non GMO snow gem peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO snow gem 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 50535355 Dried non GMO snow gem peaches is a Commodity code that nominally names a single dried-fruit product line, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement activity in that category. Instead, the opportunities show broad food-service solicitations spanning fresh produce, groceries, meal preparation, and related supplies for school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and municipal governments. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in the procurement posting systems rather than a true signal of market activity in dried stone fruit.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut; Hancock County and Bulloch County in Georgia; Fairfax County and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Pascagoula-Gautier in Mississippi; Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut; Douglas County in Georgia), county and municipal government procurement offices (Hillsborough County, Florida; City of Dallas, Texas; City of Meriden, Connecticut), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission; State of Georgia). Recent opportunities show heavy concentration among school nutrition programs, which use the code to solicit master grocery contracts, fresh produce, eggs, packaged meal boxes, and senior meal services. Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with particular density in Georgia school districts. Representative recent solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery bid (IFB, due June 30, 2026) for over 1,100 line items under National School Lunch Program rules; Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce RFQ (IFB, due June 26, 2026) covering 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty produce; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring minimum 76 items and compliance with Buy American Act; and the Douglas County School System's food-supply RFP (due February 18, 2026) with estimated annual value of $9 million for 32,000 meals daily. No recent opportunities specifically solicit dried non-GMO snow gem peaches, dried stone fruit, or related commodity-level products under this code.
