UNSPSC 50524919: Non GMO fire pearl nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO fire 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 50524919 Non GMO fire pearl nectarines is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, though the recent opportunities block shows little activity explicitly tied to this specific variety. State and local governments use this code to procure fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, regional parks, healthcare facilities, and related food service operations. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county park authorities (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level food service procurement (State of Georgia). The work is characteristically high-volume, seasonal, and subject to strict food safety, traceability, and delivery-timing requirements; contracts often specify ripeness stages, internal temperatures, HACCP plans, and farm-of-origin documentation. Many jurisdictions impose local or regional sourcing preferences—Bartow County and Madison Metropolitan School District both require produce sourced within 400 miles—and several opportunities weight organic or diverse-owned business status in evaluation.

Recent activity shows strong geographic concentration in Georgia and Wisconsin. The State of Georgia posted a general food supplies bid in May 2026 (due June 22, 2026), and multiple Georgia school districts—Bartow County (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026), Hancock County (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Early County (bids due June 8, 2026)—solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin posted two fruit and vegetable bids in July 2026: petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, with weekly demand of approximately 5,900 servings). Collier County in Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025, though the posted date is October 8, 2026, suggesting a potential data inconsistency), and Marion Health Care Coalition in an unspecified state solicited produce proposals (due August 21, 2026). School districts dominate the recent pipeline, with contracts typically running September through June aligned to the school year and evaluation criteria emphasizing cost (commonly 30–40% of total points), local or organic sourcing compliance, food safety documentation, and supplier experience.
