UNSPSC 50595306: Dried Non GMO virginia peanuts

The variety of Non GMO peanuts known as Non GMO virginia 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 50595306 Dried Non GMO virginia peanuts is a Commodity code, though the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect procurement of dried peanuts or peanut products. Instead, the opportunity records show general grocery, fresh produce, and meal service solicitations spanning school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, and institutional food service — categories that may incidentally include peanut-containing products but do not target peanuts as a primary commodity. The scope of work reflected in these opportunities encompasses comprehensive food service supply, including fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), dairy, grains, proteins, and processed foods for K-12 school districts, state institutions, and county meal programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and educational food authorities (Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), with participation from state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and municipalities (City of Dallas, City of Meriden). School nutrition procurement dominates the activity.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, particularly Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, and state-level solicitations), with additional solicitations from Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Florida (Hillsborough County), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), and Texas (HHSC, City of Dallas). Recent representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) seeking delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens for the 2026–27 school year; Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026) for approximately $9 million in annual food service to 32 schools; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026) valued at $17.8 million over three years; and the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items solicitation (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items with Buy American requirements. This code shows little targeted activity for dried Virginia peanuts as a standalone procurement category in state and local markets during the current sourcing window.
