UNSPSC 50525301: Non GMO amber crest peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO amber crest 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 50525301 Non GMO amber crest peaches is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of specific fresh fruit varieties for food service operations, particularly in school nutrition programs and parks departments. Recent solicitations show school districts requesting peaches and other fresh produce as standalone items or as part of broader fresh-fruit lineups under school lunch programs. The code applies to procurement of fresh, unprocessed fruit meeting specified ripeness, size, and quality standards — often with requirements for GMO or organic certification, temperature maintenance during delivery, and traceability documentation by farm of origin. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, Bartow County Schools in Georgia), county parks departments (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state departments (State of Georgia), with school nutrition programs representing the primary buyer segment under this code. School districts typically solicit produce through RFB (Request for Bid) or IFB (Invitation for Bid) processes, often with tight turnaround between posting and due date.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin. Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFB 4162 for petite bananas with bids due July 29, 2026, projecting $78,000 annual spend and requiring 70–90 weekly cases during school sessions. Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items (including multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty fruits) with bids due June 26, 2026 and a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term. Bartow County School System issued RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026 and contract award anticipated July 20, 2026. Early County Board of Education posted bids for approximately 300+ food items including fruits and vegetables due June 8, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited food services including fresh fruit through ITN #258360 for North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025. A notable signal appears in the recent opportunities: school districts increasingly weight local sourcing (within 400 miles), organic certification, traceability documentation, and diverse-owned business status in evaluation criteria, with some districts offering scoring preferences (Wisconsin 5% preference on diverse-owned status; Georgia Buy American provisions). Marion Health Care Coalition and the State of Georgia also posted produce procurements in May–August 2026 without specific item-level detail in the publicly available summaries.
