UNSPSC 50524909: Non GMO august red nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO august red 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 50524909 Non GMO august red nectarines is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities posted over the past four months span fresh produce procurement broadly — petite bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, and generic food-service concessions — rather than nectarines specifically. School districts dominate the issuing bodies in the recent record, with Madison Metropolitan School District posting two separate produce bids (petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks), Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year, Early County Board of Education seeking line-by-line food bids, and Bartow County School System requesting local fresh fruits and vegetables. County parks and recreation departments and health care coalitions also appear, including Collier County Board of County Commissioners issuing an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park and Marion Health Care Coalition seeking produce vendors for the 2026-2027 contract period.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast, with recent opportunities from Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and a statewide State of Georgia food bid), Florida (Collier County), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District). Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison with Wisconsin diversity-owned business preferences and a $0.20 per pound organic preference discount; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, with deliveries to three school sites and firm pricing for the July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term; and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables due June 22, 2026, emphasizing seasonal variety and local sourcing within 400 miles. The code does not appear to reflect a specialized market for nectarines; procurement under this tag is driven instead by general fresh-produce aggregation and school-nutrition budgeting cycles.
