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 targets a specific processed fruit product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct alignment with the commodity name itself. The opportunities posted against this code span broad food and consumable procurement — school nutrition programs, senior meal services, state facility food supply, and institutional food service — in which peaches (dried or otherwise) may appear as one line item among hundreds in larger grocery or produce solicitations rather than as a focused product category. State and local issuing bodies using this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and the State of Georgia procurement office. The work being solicited ranges from fresh produce supply for school meal programs to packaged meal boxes, prepared senior meals with delivery, and comprehensive grocery and consumable items for institutional food service — all subject to nutrition standards compliance, Buy American domestic content requirements where applicable, HACCP certification, and delivery logistics to multiple sites.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The Bridgeport Board of Education issued an RFP (BNB052266) on June 30, 2026, for grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items including fruits, vegetables, and other products, with delivery to central warehouse and school sites under the National School Lunch Program and Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission released an IFB (HHS0017449) due July 13, 2026, for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB (SN002-2027) due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce across over 200 line items with firm pricing through June 30, 2027. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB-26-00289) due June 25, 2026, with an estimated three-year contract value of $17,832,659.90. None of these recent opportunities specifically targets dried non-GMO snow gem peaches as a distinct procurement line; the code assignment appears misaligned with the actual institutional food supply and nutrition services work being bought.
