UNSPSC 50524922: Non GMO flat type nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO flat type 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 50524922 Non GMO flat type nectarines is a Commodity code that maps to a narrow slice of school-food and institutional-dining procurement, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity explicitly targeting nectarines by variety or GMO status. The one opportunity nominally posted under the code—Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025)—treats nectarines as one possible item within a broad concession-food scope, not as a line item requiring specification. The majority of recent opportunities in this product space, sourced by school districts and institutional food-service entities, solicited fresh produce more broadly: Madison Metropolitan School District's RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 produce line items; Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables; and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid. These solicitations typically name specific fruits and vegetables with precise ripeness, size, sourcing, and packaging requirements but do not isolate nectarines as a distinct line item or specify GMO status.

State and local buyers posting under this code operate primarily in Georgia and Wisconsin, with activity from school nutrition programs, regional parks, and health-care coalitions. School districts dominate the recent-opportunity mix, reflecting federal reimbursement for meals under the National School Lunch Program and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, which drive seasonal or year-round produce demand. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) released an IFB on June 10, 2026 (bids due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty items across three schools; Bartow County School System (Georgia) posted an RFP on May 21, 2026 (proposal deadline June 22, 2026) for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles; and Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted two RFBs on July 8, 2026 for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (both due July 29, 2026). Marion Health Care Coalition posted a broad produce-proposal request on August 7, 2026 (due August 21, 2026). The code shows limited concentration around nectarines specifically and appears underutilized for variety-level fresh-fruit procurement—state and local buyers tagging this code may be using it as a catch-all for fresh-fruit sourcing rather than targeting nectarines as a distinct commodity.
