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 covering fresh nectarines purchased by state and local food service operators. State and local governments procure this commodity primarily through school districts, county parks and recreation departments, and healthcare coalitions that operate food service operations for student meals, park concessions, and patient or resident nutrition programs. The recent solicitations show that nectarines and similar fresh produce are sourced as line items within broader fresh-produce contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases; they appear in school nutrition RFBs and RFQs alongside apples, berries, citrus, and seasonal fruit items, often with specifications for ripeness, size, delivery temperature, case pack configuration, and traceability documentation.

The code shows activity across multiple states with school districts in Wisconsin, Georgia, and at least one county health coalition as recent buyers.
