UNSPSC 50524917: Non GMO fairlane nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO fairlane 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 50524917 Non GMO fairlane nectarines is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to classify specialized fresh produce items, though recent solicitations tagged under it reflect broader school nutrition procurement spanning staple fruits, vegetables, eggs, and related fresh-food supply—a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent opportunities from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida). A state-level procurement from Georgia also appears, as does a cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative procuring on behalf of 30 school districts across Georgia). School nutrition programs drive all of this activity, supported by federal USDA grant funding for free and reduced-price meal programs and the federally funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and extends to Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 estimated annual value), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items (due June 26, 2026), Bulloch County School District's RFP for 24 locally sourced produce items within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education's dual IFBs for produce and comprehensive food products (due April 29, 2026), Muscogee County School District's ITB for approximately 60 produce line items with pricing indexed to USDA Fruit and Vegetable Market News (due April 27, 2026, 1:00 PM EST), Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP for 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two, due March 4, 2026), Austin Independent School District's RFP for fresh produce and beverages (due March 11, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty fruits and vegetables at 18 elementary schools expanding to 20 (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000 USDA-funded). Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, food safety certifications, and traceability requirements appear uniformly across opportunities. School districts routinely award to single or multiple vendors on line-item bases, require weekly or twice-weekly deliveries in early-morning windows (typically 5:00–7:00 AM or 6:30–2:00 PM), maintain strict temperature and shelf-life standards, and emphasize domestic sourcing and whole-grain compliance aligned with USDA National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program guidelines.
