UNSPSC 50524935: Non GMO red diamond nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO red diamond 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 50524935 Non GMO red diamond nectarines is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual procurement activity in the recent state and local opportunities presented. The opportunities posted under this code span fresh produce supply across multiple categories—petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, mixed fresh produce for school nutrition programs, and general food service concessions—rather than the specific item named in the code. School districts, county park systems, and healthcare coalitions are the primary issuing bodies, soliciting produce through RFB, RFP, and ITN notice types. The scope of work centers on fresh fruit and vegetable sourcing with emphasis on food safety compliance, traceability documentation, seasonal availability, delivery logistics to designated sites, and adherence to USDA and state nutrition program standards. Many solicitations specify sourcing preferences—local procurement (within 400 miles), Wisconsin-sourced, or domestic agricultural commodity content under Buy American provisions—and several offer evaluation preference points for diverse-owned business status or organic products.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Upper Midwest. Recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (bids due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items across apple varieties, berries, and specialty fruits (bids due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables (proposals due June 22, 2026), and Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposal request (due August 21, 2026). Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park food services (due March 6, 2025) includes concession produce supply alongside prepared food. Contract values range from approximately $78,000 annually for petite bananas at Madison Metropolitan School District to larger, unspecified amounts for comprehensive produce programs. The code shows active procurement volume, but the mismatch between the specific commodity name and the broad fresh-produce categories actually being solicited suggests this Commodity code may not be the optimal filter for targeting nectarine-specific opportunities.
