UNSPSC 50524937: Non GMO red jim nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO red jim 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 50524937 Non GMO red jim nectarines, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments purchasing under this code are primarily school districts procuring fresh produce for child nutrition and school breakfast and lunch programs. The source records name the code but document solicitations for petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and broad fresh produce categories spanning apples, berries, vegetables, and eggs—not red jim nectarines or any nectarine variety specifically. The mismatch between the code's product specification and the actual solicitations suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or that red jim nectarines are rarely purchased as a distinct line item under this code. The issuing bodies are school districts and school boards across multiple states, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) operating through the GEC Buying Cooperative.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Wisconsin. Recent representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas with bids due July 29, 2026, estimating $78,000 annual contract value for weekly deliveries of 70–90 cases to a single Food Production Center, and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two Georgia geographic areas, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two and proposals due March 4, 2026. School districts consistently require HACCP plans, food safety certifications, Buy American compliance documentation, insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2 million general liability, and weekly or twice-weekly deliveries to multiple school sites during early-morning windows. The code as currently applied does not reflect a coherent procurement category—business development professionals should verify product-code alignment with issuing offices before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
