UNSPSC 50525300: Non GMO peaches

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO peaches. 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 50525300 Non GMO peaches, a Class code, does not appear to be the actual commodity being solicited in recent state and local opportunities. The recent-opportunities record shows no dedicated peach procurement; instead, the opportunities tag fresh produce more broadly—bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, and general produce line items—under this code. The Collier County food-services ITN (Solicitation 258360, due March 6, 2025) seeks a food vendor for park concessions with diverse menu options but does not specify peach sourcing. Marion Health Care Coalition's produce RFP (SP0040000017708, due August 21, 2026) covers fresh fruits and vegetables generically. The opportunities that do specify individual items—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026)—focus on bananas and multi-item produce rather than peaches. The code appears to be a miscategorization or a low-volume category in recent state and local procurement activity.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include county park systems (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and school nutrition departments (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education in Georgia). Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Wisconsin. School districts represent the dominant buyer type, with food-service programs across multiple states, though parks and healthcare coalitions also procure produce. No solicitations in the recent record specifically target non-GMO peaches or make peach procurement a primary line item, and the code shows limited material activity as applied to state and local procurement right now.
