UNSPSC 50535358: Dried non GMO spring snow peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO spring snow 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 50535358 Dried non-GMO spring snow peaches is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line that state and local governments buy primarily through school nutrition and institutional food service procurement. The recent opportunities in this code do not show dried peaches as a discrete line item; instead, state and local bodies solicit under this code as part of larger fresh-produce, grocery, or food-service bundles that span multiple produce items, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods. When dry or processed fruit appears, it typically falls within breakfast cereals, baked goods, or snack categories rather than as a standalone commodity. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for institutional facilities), and county nutrition programs (Hillsborough County, Florida, for senior meal services). The code's activity reflects the National School Lunch Program, Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program, and adult care food contracting requirements, all subject to Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients) and HACCP compliance.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida, with school districts and state agencies as primary buyers. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (on behalf of Bridgeport Board of Education) issued an IFB for over 1,100 line-item grocery items with a response date of June 30, 2026, covering breakfast items, cereals, fruits, vegetables, and dairy under National School Lunch Program rules. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruits, due June 26, 2026, for the 2026-27 school year. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB (HHS0017449) for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 11, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and initial contract term September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB 26-00289 due June 25, 2026, with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90. Dried peaches as a discrete commodity appear minimally or not at all in these recent postings; the code's activity reflects broad food-service and institutional nutrition procurement rather than specialty dried-fruit sourcing.
