UNSPSC 50524948: Non GMO spring red nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO spring 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 50524948 Non GMO spring red nectarines — a Commodity code — does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are currently buying under this designation. Recent school district procurement activity tagged with this code solicits bananas, fresh mixed produce, and multi-item produce portfolios for child nutrition programs, not nectarines. The mismatch between code and recent opportunity scope suggests either persistent miscoding across school nutrition procurement offices or a code designation that has drifted from operational practice.

State and local activity under this code is dominated by school districts — Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System among the most recent solicitors. School nutrition programs are the primary buyer, with a few offerings also spanning general food supply contracts. The geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia and Texas, with representation also from Wisconsin and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 (petite bananas, due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual contract value of $78,000), Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, root vegetables, and citrus, due June 26, 2026), Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (approximately 72 produce line items including apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, and eggs for 30 school districts, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two), and Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034 (fresh produce and beverages, due March 11, 2026). Most solicitations use RFB, RFP, or IFB structures with firm fixed pricing or cost-plus models; many impose Buy American provisions, HACCP plan requirements, and geographic or local-sourcing preferences. No incumbent vendors are named across the recent opportunities.
