UNSPSC 50595305: Dried Non GMO valencia peanuts

The variety of Non GMO peanuts known as Non GMO valencia peanuts 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 50595305 Dried Non GMO valencia peanuts is a Commodity code describing a specific ingredient input into school meal programs and institutional food service operations. State and local governments buy dried peanuts through this code primarily to support national school lunch compliance, institutional nutrition standards, and food service operations at schools, senior centers, and state-supported living facilities. The scope encompasses compliance with Buy American domestic content requirements, allergen controls (often specified as "no nuts or nut oils" in broader grocery categories), and nutrition labeling mandates under federal child nutrition programs. Issuing bodies soliciting under or alongside this code include school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services departments, and county commissioners overseeing senior meal programs—typically bundled within larger grocery, produce, or food-service RFPs and IFBs rather than as standalone peanut-specific procurements.

Recent activity shows the code embedded in multi-item food service solicitations across multiple states and issuing bodies. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases and Bridgeport Board of Education posted IFB BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026) for over 1,100 grocery line items including nuts and nut products, subject to 51 percent Buy American domestic agricultural content and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act standards, with delivery to central warehouse and school sites on a firm-fixed pricing basis through June 2027. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with firm pricing through June 2027. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 (due July 11, 2026) for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period spend of $1.5 million and contract term through August 2027. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted ITB 26-00289 (due June 25, 2026) for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17,832,659.90 over three years. The State of Georgia posted PE55645NONST2026000000009 (due June 22, 2026) for food, supplies, and kitchen products. Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast—Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Mississippi—with activity driven by school nutrition program cycles and state institutional food service contracts.
