UNSPSC 50524905: Non GMO arctic sweet nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO arctic sweet nectarines. 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 50524905 Non GMO arctic sweet nectarines is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this category in recent state and local opportunities. The source contains no recent procurement activity specifically requesting arctic sweet nectarines or non-GMO nectarines. The opportunities posted are uniformly for broad fresh produce categories — bananas, general fresh fruit and vegetables, eggs, and multi-item commodity baskets — and do not target nectarines as a line item, let alone a specialized variety with organic or geographic specifications.

State and local school districts across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida are the dominant issuing bodies soliciting under produce-related codes, with food and nutrition departments posting Requests for Bid (RFB), Invitation for Bid (IFB), and Request for Proposal (RFP) notices for annual school nutrition contracts. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana procurement under RFB 4162 (due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual value of $78,000), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB covering over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 districts across two Georgia regions (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined across both areas). The geographic spread is concentrated in Georgia, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida. The code shows little decision-relevant activity aligned to its stated scope; prospective vendors should confirm whether specific nectarine varieties command sufficient institutional demand to warrant pursuit of opportunities tagged to this Commodity code.
