UNSPSC 50524925: Non GMO grand pearl nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO grand 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 50524925 Non GMO grand pearl nectarines (Commodity) represents a narrow fresh-produce line item that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs and healthcare food services. Recent opportunities under this code show little activity specifically targeting nectarines; instead, school districts and county nutrition programs are issuing broader fresh-produce solicitations in which nectarines would appear as one line item among many. The code sits within a larger family of agricultural commodities, and buyers under it operate principally through schools (school districts' food and nutrition departments), county healthcare and parks services, and other food-service operations that source fresh fruit for student meals, patient nutrition, or public facility concessions. The work involves meeting USDA procurement standards, food-safety compliance including HACCP plans, temperature-controlled delivery, fill-rate guarantees, traceability documentation, and Buy American provisions when applicable.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia and Wisconsin. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with bids due July 29, 2026, and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce with bids due June 26, 2026 for the 2026-27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027, covering over 200 line items including multiple fruit and vegetable varieties. Bartow County School System (Georgia) sought local fresh fruits and vegetables through RFP 10-2026-019 with proposals due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025, and Marion Health Care Coalition (state not specified) sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026. The recent opportunities show school districts as the dominant issuing bodies, with secondary activity from county parks and healthcare coalitions. Dollar values and specific line-item pricing for nectarines alone do not appear in the source material.
