UNSPSC 50524908: Non GMO august pearl nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO august pearl 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 50524908 Non-GMO august pearl nectarines is a Commodity code that bears little relationship to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single produce variety, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for nectarines—neither august pearl nor any other type. Instead, the posted opportunities are overwhelmingly for broad fresh produce supply contracts serving school nutrition programs, with scope spanning dozens of fruit and vegetable line items, eggs, and prepared produce. Madison Metropolitan School District solicited petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requested over 200 produce line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, and specialty items (IFB, due June 26, 2026); and Bulloch County School District sought 24 locally-grown produce items including watermelons, strawberries, and various greens (IFP, due May 4, 2026). The code shows no recent relevant activity.

Issuing bodies are nearly exclusively school districts and boards of education—Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, McAllen Independent, Austin Independent, Douglas County, Early County, and Bartow County in Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida. All opportunities are for school nutrition programs serving National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs. Procurements use IFB (Invitation for Bid), RFP (Request for Proposal), and RFB (Request for Bids) notice types. The geographic spread is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Wisconsin, and broader multistate cooperative purchasing. Because the code specifies a single nectarine variety and recent solicitations address multi-item produce supply, the code does not capture the activity state and local governments are actually buying. This code warrants a skip unless the firm pursues niche single-commodity supply to institutional food service.
