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 covering dried peanut products sourced domestically without genetic modification, though recent state and local procurement activity under this specific code shows little direct solicitation. The recent opportunities posted under related food commodity codes reveal that state and local governments procure peanuts and peanut products as part of broader grocery and food-service contracts for school nutrition programs, institutional dining, and senior meal services, where peanut inclusion is constrained by allergen restrictions and nutritional compliance requirements. School districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipal government departments issue these solicitations. The Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items contract explicitly requires products to contain "no nuts or nut oils," which would exclude standard peanut offerings; similarly, institutional food-service contracts emphasize allergen management and compliance with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act. This suggests that while peanuts remain a commodity category in the UNSPSC taxonomy, current state and local procurement patterns increasingly restrict or exclude peanut products from standard awards in favor of nut-free formulations.

Recent activity shows school districts and state agencies issuing IFB and RFP notices across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for grocery items (BNB052266) due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items for school nutrition with strict nut-exclusion language. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with responses due July 13, 2026, representing prior contract value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items without peanut-specific mention. Hillsborough County (Florida) posted ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years, also without peanut inclusion in scope. The code itself does not appear in direct recent postings; procurement activity gravitates toward broader food commodity bundles and allergen-controlled meal service contracts that effectively marginalize standalone dried peanut procurement in state and local school and institutional settings.
