UNSPSC 50595300: Dried Non GMO peanuts

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO peanuts that has 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 50595300 Dried Non GMO peanuts is a Class code that does not appear in recent state and local government procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—dried non-GMO peanuts as a discrete commodity—does not align with the actual work being solicited under this taxonomy. Recent opportunities tagged to this code instead describe broad food-service procurement: school district grocery supply contracts, senior meal preparation and delivery services, fresh produce aggregation for multiple school systems, and boxed meal catering for municipal events. These solicitations span cereals, frozen vegetables, dairy, meats, produce, beverages, snacks, and condiments—not peanuts specifically. The mismatch between the code's definition and the goods actually being procured suggests this code is either incorrectly applied in state and local procurement systems or serves as a catch-all placeholder for commodity-level food items that fall outside more specific produce or prepared-food classifications.

State and local food procurement is distributed across school districts, county boards of education, municipal purchasing departments, and state health agencies, with no dominant repeat buyer evident in the recent set. Geographic spread covers Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12, due April 27, 2026, spanning 76 line items of grocery products across 45 schools; Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) RFP 026-41 for commercial groceries, beverages, and produce serving 8,200 students across 13 sites, with an anticipated contract value of $3,100,000 and proposals due February 25, 2026; Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of $9,000,000 and sealed proposals due February 18, 2026; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 and bids due June 25, 2026. The code shows no meaningful recent activity and does not warrant pursuit based on the taxonomy's practical application in state and local buying.
