UNSPSC 50535369: Dried non GMO vista peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO vista 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 50535369 Dried non-GMO vista peaches is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity captured in the recent opportunities block. The solicitations tagged under this code span comprehensive grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, prepared meals, and food service distribution — none of which center on dried peaches or dried fruits generally. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, for example, is soliciting over 1,100 grocery line items for school nutrition including fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, and condiments under a National School Lunch Program contract, not dried fruit specialty items. Similarly, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is procuring broad food and consumable products for a state-supported living center; Hancock County Board of Education seeks fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and citrus; and Fairfax County Public Schools requires a master grocery supplier across K-12 operations. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual scope of work being purchased suggests this code is either misapplied to these opportunities or sits dormant in active procurement.

Recent activity clusters in school districts and state nutrition programs across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with the most substantial opportunities appearing in large school systems and county boards of education. Fairfax County Public Schools issued an IFB on April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026, for a master grocery K-12 contract with deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Douglas County School System in Georgia posted an RFP on January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026, for food supply and distribution serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual value of approximately $9,000,000; and the City of Meriden Purchasing Department, on behalf of Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, released an RFP on January 28, 2026, due February 25, 2026, for commercial groceries, beverages, and produce with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3,100,000 for school year 2026-2027. No state and local procurement activity under UNSPSC 50535369 specifically targets dried peaches or dried-fruit commodity purchases.
