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 reflects state and local purchasing of packaged grocery and food-service products for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The recent solicitations show school districts, county health and human services agencies, and boards of county commissioners buying food and consumable products under this classification — encompassing not only dried peanuts but broader fresh produce, packaged meals, breakfast items, frozen goods, dairy, beverages, and specialized dietary products. State and local buyers enforce Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items), nutrition standards aligned with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act and National School Lunch Program rules, allergen restrictions (including nut-oil bans in some cases), and HACCP compliance. Vendors must accept electronic ordering systems, maintain backup stock for emergency delivery, provide detailed nutritional labeling and product formulations, and carry substantial commercial general liability and products liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence depending on the jurisdiction).

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education, with delivery to a central warehouse and school sites and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026 (due July 13) for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with historical annual volume of $1.5 million and contract term beginning September 1, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026 (due June 26) for over 200 line items of fresh produce for school year 2026–27 with delivery to three school sites. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited competitive sealed bids (ITB-26-00289) on June 3, 2026 (due June 25) for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated contract value of $17.8 million over three years; this opportunity spans meal service at congregate sites and home delivery but lies outside the dried peanuts code's direct scope. School districts and county boards remain the dominant issuing bodies under this classification, with nutrition compliance and commodity sourcing standards driving procurement activity across the region.
