UNSPSC 50525310: Non GMO country sweet peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO country sweet 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 50525310 Non GMO country sweet peaches (Commodity) appears in state and local school nutrition procurement, but recent opportunities under this code show minimal activity specifically aligned with the commodity's scope. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code are school district produce and food service RFPs, yet the actual work being solicited—fresh produce supply for child nutrition programs—spans a much broader range of fruits and vegetables rather than peaches as a distinct line item. Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026) requests petite bananas on a weekly delivery basis, while Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) solicits over 200 fresh produce line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables—but does not isolate peaches as a commodity purchase. The code does not map cleanly to what state and local governments are actually procuring under recent fresh-produce contracts in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs.

Issuing bodies pursuing fresh produce under related codes include school districts of varying size (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, and others across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida) and occasionally cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving multi-district consortia. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Florida and Wisconsin. Representative recent solicitations show school districts buying comprehensive fresh-produce assortments rather than peach-specific contracts: Glynn County Board of Education (IFB 27-02, posted March 16, 2026, due April 14, 2026) sought 60 produce line items for 16 school locations; McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029, posted March 6, 2026, due March 6, 2026) requested fresh produce across 31 campuses serving 20,000 students; and Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034, posted February 14, 2026, due March 11, 2026) solicited fresh produce and beverages across all food service locations with emphasis on Good Food Purchasing Program alignment. The code shows little recent standalone peach procurement activity—peaches do not appear as named line items in any of the detailed solicitations reviewed.
