UNSPSC 50524952: Non GMO summer fire nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO summer fire 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 50524952 Non GMO summer fire nectarines (Commodity) represents a narrow specialty produce line with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract designation does not align with the actual solicitations posted under this number — recent opportunities show school districts and county parks requesting broad fresh produce categories (petite bananas, mixed fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, comprehensive produce lineups spanning apples, berries, melons, and leafy greens), general produce from health care and educational food service vendors, and locally sourced fresh fruits and vegetables. None of the recent opportunities specifically name nectarines or target a non-GMO specialty designation. The issuing bodies are school nutrition departments (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county parks and recreation divisions (Collier County), state government (State of Georgia), and health care coalition procurement (Marion Health Care Coalition). These entities are buying fresh produce to support national school meal programs, park concessions, and health care operations rather than sourcing a specific variety.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with opportunities posted in May through October 2026. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000, 70-90 cases weekly) and RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (due July 29, 2026, approximately 5,900 servings weekly for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items spanning multiple apple varieties and specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (proposal deadline June 22, 2026), and Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park including concession operations (due March 6, 2025). The code shows little relevant recent purchasing activity specific to nectarines or non-GMO designation — vendors pursuing this code should verify whether state and local buyers are actively sourcing this specialty line or whether the tagging reflects a taxonomy mismatch.
