UNSPSC 50525309: Non GMO classic peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO classic 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 50525309 Non GMO classic peaches is a Commodity code covering fresh peaches sourced without genetic modification, procured by state and local food-service operations—primarily school districts and county parks departments—as components of child nutrition programs, institutional food service, and park concessions. The work involves supplying fresh produce to meet food-safety and quality standards specified in district or county scope documents, with delivery to central warehouses or individual school sites on fixed schedules and pricing that typically remains firm for the contract term. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county or regional food-service authorities; the recent opportunities show Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Bartow County School System as repeat solicitors of fresh produce, alongside county parks and county healthcare coalitions. Performance spans multiple delivery locations within each jurisdiction—typically three to six school sites per district or centralized warehouse distribution points—with contracts running from July through June to align with the school fiscal year.
