UNSPSC 50524943: Non GMO ruby sweet nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO ruby sweet 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 50524943 Non GMO ruby sweet nectarines, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity explicitly soliciting nectarines does not appear in the dataset; instead, the code's recent postings reflect school district food service procurement for fresh produce broadly—bananas, apples, berries, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, and eggs—rather than nectarines specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Georgia and Texas districts posting the largest concentration of opportunities. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Glynn County Board of Education in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia (administering a cooperative serving 30 districts), Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Bulloch County School District in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, and Early County Board of Education in Georgia have all issued RFBs, RFPs, or IFBs for fresh produce between February and July 2026.

The work solicited under this code in practice spans weekly produce delivery to school sites, with vendors required to maintain HACCP plans, provide traceability documentation, comply with Buy American provisions requiring domestic sourcing or products with at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content, carry liability insurance (typically $1 million general liability minimum), and meet USDA food safety and quality standards. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 (petite bananas, due July 29, 2026; estimated annual value $78,000), Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts, estimated annual spending $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026), and Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 (fresh produce to 16 school locations, sealed bids due April 14, 2026). Most contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with renewal options of one to four years. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas school districts, with smaller activity in Wisconsin and Florida. The code shows steady institutional procurement volume driven by school nutrition programs, though the lack of nectarine-specific solicitations suggests limited current demand for this commodity variant within the recent posting window.
