UNSPSC 50524911: Non GMO big john nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO big john 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 50524911 Non GMO big john nectarines is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the nominal scope. School districts and education-related purchasing offices are instead soliciting fresh produce broadly — bananas, apples, berries, melons, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and eggs — rather than nectarines specifically. The code's name does not reflect what is actually being bought in this market. A Madison Metropolitan School District RFB (4162, due July 29, 2026) solicits petite bananas at an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 for weekly deliveries of 70–90 cases during the school year; a separate MMSD RFB (4163, due July 29, 2026) covers fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison at approximately 5,900 weekly servings for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Neither opportunity targets nectarines. Multiple Georgia school districts post similar produce RFPs and IFBs — Hancock County Board of Education (IFB, due June 26, 2026) seeks over 200 fresh produce line items; Liberty County Board of Education (IFB, due April 29, 2026) encompasses both produce and comprehensive food products; Glynn County Board of Education (IFB 27-02, due April 14, 2026) solicits approximately 60 produce line items for 16 school locations — but none specifically call out nectarines as a priority commodity.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school boards across Georgia, Florida, and Texas, reflecting the concentration of child nutrition program purchasing in the K–12 education sector. Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) procures 72 fresh produce items; McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029, due March 6, 2026) serves 20,000 students across 31 campuses; Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026) solicits fresh produce and beverages through a Good Food Purchasing Program framework emphasizing local and sustainable sourcing. A few opportunities extend beyond schools — the State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026) — but no activity explicitly targets Non GMO big john nectarines. The geographic spread is dominated by Georgia, with representation in Texas and Florida, reflecting regional school nutrition program activity. Because the code's nominal scope (nectarines) diverges substantially from what is actually being solicited (multi-category fresh produce bundles for institutional food service), opportunities under this code should not be pursued based on nectarine supply capability alone; firms should evaluate whether they can meet the broader fresh produce and institutional food service requirements that districts are actually buying.
