UNSPSC 50524956: Non GMO zee glo nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO zee glo 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 50524956 Non GMO zee glo nectarines (Commodity) covers fresh nectarine supply to state and local food-service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct procurement of this specific variety. Instead, the available solicitations reveal that state and local governments buy fresh produce more broadly — including fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, county park concessions, health-care coalition food service, and specialty produce sourcing from local and regional farms. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County), and specialized procurement bodies (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts dominate the recent activity, with food and nutrition departments issuing the majority of the visible solicitations. Scope varies from commodity-standard produce (bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables) to location-restricted local sourcing (produce within 400 miles) to specialized items like ready-to-eat processed vegetable snacks and organic options. Evaluation criteria typically weight cost heavily (40 percent), with secondary emphasis on vendor qualifications, compliance, and local or diverse-business status.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin. Recent opportunities originate from Hancock County Schools and Bartow County School System in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Madison Metropolitan School District and Marion Health Care Coalition in Wisconsin, Collier County in Florida, and the State of Georgia. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, bids due July 29, 2026), the same district's RFB 4163 for ready-to-eat fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison (5,900 servings weekly, bids due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (bids due June 26, 2026, contract July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027), and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (RFP due June 22, 2026, anticipated award July 20, 2026). The Collier County Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN due March 6, 2025) requires food and beverage provision including produce sourcing. The code itself shows no direct recent procurements of non-GMO zee glo nectarines; vendors pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition programs and regional food-service operations for seasonal produce contracts that may include nectarines or similar stone fruits.
