UNSPSC 50524939: Non GMO rio red nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO rio red 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 50524939 Non GMO rio red nectarines is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope names a specific produce variety (non-GMO Rio Red nectarines), but the recent solicitations tagged under it do not purchase nectarines at all. Instead, state and local procurement bodies are buying bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, peppers, tomatoes, and other produce staples through school nutrition programs, nearly all of which are fresh-produce-for-school-lunch aggregated buys rather than single-item commodity procurements. The mismatch between the code name and the work actually being solicited suggests either tagging inconsistency or that nectarine procurement under this code is not currently active in state and local markets.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies across the recent opportunities—Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), and Austin Independent School District (Texas)—alongside cooperative vehicles like the GEC Buying Cooperative and one state-level procurement (Georgia Department of Public Instruction for food, supplies, and other kitchen products). Georgia and Texas account for the heaviest recent activity, with Florida and Wisconsin present. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (response due July 29, 2026, annual value approximately $78,000) and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFQDST for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program produce delivery to 18 elementary schools (response due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000 USDA-funded). No nectarine-specific procurement appears in the recent block.
