UNSPSC 50524906: Non GMO arctic glo nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO arctic glo 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 50524906 Non GMO arctic glo nectarines is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single fresh fruit product, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the code's stated scope. The opportunities span fresh produce procurement broadly — including bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, comprehensive produce line items for school districts and parks, and generalized food service contracting — rather than arctic glo nectarines specifically. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county recreation departments (Collier County), a health care coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). The work being solicited is primarily food service provisioning for schools, parks, and institutional food programs, with evaluation criteria emphasizing cost (typically 40 percent), vendor qualifications and compliance with food safety and HACCP standards, delivery performance and reliability, and local or diverse-vendor preferences where applicable.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's July 2026 bid for petite bananas (RFB 4162, 70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, bids due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (RFB 4163, 5,900 servings weekly, bids due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items across multiple fruit and vegetable categories for the 2026–27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026, contract award July 20, 2026); Collier County's March 2026 ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a three-year term and local-vendor preference valued at 10 evaluation points; and Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposals (due August 21, 2026). The code shows no recent opportunities explicitly requesting arctic glo nectarines by name.
