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 shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no documented solicitations for non-GMO nectarines or any nectarines. Recent opportunities posted under this code span fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, including bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus fruits, and other staples — but nectarines do not appear in any of the representative solicitations listed.

School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin dominate the issuing-body mix, with the majority of recent activity concentrated in Georgia school systems. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB for fresh produce covering 200+ line items with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), Bartow County School System (RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with approximately $5.5 million annual spend, due March 4, 2026). These solicitations consistently emphasize HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, traceability documentation, weekly delivery to multiple school sites, and competitive pricing pegged to USDA market reports. The code appears to have been tagged incorrectly or serves as a catch-all for produce procurement; firms pursuing institutional fresh-produce supply contracts should monitor school district RFPs and IFBs directly rather than rely on this code for nectarine-specific demand signals.
