UNSPSC 50535366: Dried non GMO surecrop peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO surecrop 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 50535366 Dried non GMO surecrop peaches (Commodity) represents dried fruit products purchased by state and local school districts, county nutrition programs, and state health agencies to support federally funded meal service operations, particularly under the National School Lunch Program and similar child nutrition initiatives. The code sees active solicitation activity focused on bulk procurement of shelf-stable produce items integrated into comprehensive food-service contracts that span fresh, frozen, and processed agricultural commodities. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education supported by centralized procurement, alongside state health and human services agencies operating residential care facilities and senior nutrition programs. Vendors must navigate substantial compliance requirements including Buy American provision documentation (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), HACCP plans, nutritional labeling, allergen restrictions, state health inspection records, and commercial general liability insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range per occurrence.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items including dried fruits for the Bridgeport Board of Education with a response date of June 30, 2026, requiring firm pricing through June 30, 2027, with products subject to blind laboratory testing and deliveries to central warehouse and school sites on a 48-hour emergency-stock basis. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services solicited food and consumable products under IFB HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and a July 11, 2026 response date. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 due date and delivery to three school sites, and the State of Georgia posted a broader food supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026. School-district activity reflects tight seasonal cycles tied to academic years (July through June contract periods are standard), firm pricing requirements, and multi-year terms with extension options. Senior nutrition contracting, exemplified by Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services, involves substantially higher estimated values ($17.8 million over three years) and more complex compliance infrastructure including HIPAA Business Associate Agreements and specialized insurance riders.
