UNSPSC 50524946: Non GMO snowqueen nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO snowqueen 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 50524946 Non GMO snowqueen nectarines is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent procurement activity in state and local government. The code's nominal scope—specialty stone fruit varietal procurement—does not match the work actually being solicited under it. The recent opportunities block contains seventeen active school nutrition program solicitations across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin, but none seek nectarines of any kind, GMO status, or the snowqueen variety. Instead, the posted opportunities overwhelmingly request fresh produce broadly (apples, bananas, berries, citrus, melons, carrots, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, and eggs), with occasional references to specialty items such as specialty fruits and vegetables in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program context. The mismatch between the code's specific commodity designation and the generalist produce procurement actually occurring suggests this code may be misapplied to routine institutional food service bidding or that nectarines represent a negligible or discontinued line item in recent school nutrition purchasing.

School districts and school boards dominate the issuing-body mix, including 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 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). Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for Petite Bananas (due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for Fresh Produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering approximately 72 produce line items for 30 districts with estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area (due March 4, 2026). No opportunities name nectarines as a specification line item.
