UNSPSC 50535362: Dried non GMO sun bright peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO sun bright 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 50535362 Dried non-GMO sun-bright peaches, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span broad school nutrition and senior meal programs—breakfast and lunch service for K–12 districts, fresh produce for school cafeterias, senior congregate dining, and bulk meal delivery for municipal events—none of which involve dried peaches as a line item or focus. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Public Schools in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), county commissioners (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia). A single city procurement (Dallas) also appears for boxed meal catering services. The code shows significant activity across K–12 school nutrition as the dominant use case, with secondary activity in senior meal programs and occasional municipal food service.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Connecticut, with notable opportunities in Florida, Texas, Virginia, and Mississippi. Representative recent solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 grocery procurement (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) covering over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, frozen products, fruits, vegetables, and meat subject to Buy American and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards; the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) for over 200 produce line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year; and the Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K–12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with a minimum three-year vendor experience requirement. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 11, 2026) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center carried a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. The code's recent activity shows no alignment with dried peach procurement and should not be pursued based on this code designation alone; the mismatch between the code name and actual solicitation scope signals a tagging error rather than genuine commodity demand.
