UNSPSC 50525313: Non GMO crown princess peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO crown princess 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 50525313 Non GMO crown princess peaches is a Commodity code that encompasses procurement of specialty fresh fruit — specifically non-GMO crown princess peach varieties — for school food-service programs, county parks and recreation facilities, health-care coalitions, and other state and local institutional buyers. State and local governments solicit this commodity primarily through school districts and county purchasing offices via IFB, RFQ, and RFP notices. Recent opportunities show school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System) and county recreation departments (Collier County) as the primary issuing bodies, with solicitations typically bundling peaches and other specialty fresh produce into broader fresh-fruit procurement lots or standalone peach-specific line items within annual school-nutrition food-service contracts. Delivery requirements emphasize strict quality standards, HACCP compliance, traceability documentation by farm of origin, and adherence to ripeness and size specifications aligned with USDA standards and institutional nutritional guidelines. Geographic sourcing preferences increasingly require domestic and local agricultural sourcing; several recent bids impose 400-mile local-sourcing radius requirements and apply price preferences or scoring bonuses for produce sourced within Wisconsin, Georgia, or other specified regions.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted an RFB for petite bananas (July 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (July 2026) with $78,000 annual estimated value for the banana contract; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items spanning apple varieties, berries, and specialty fruit through June 30, 2027 (June 2026 posting); Bartow County School System (Georgia) solicited local fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 school year via RFP (May 2026 posting, June 22 submission deadline); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a three-year term and two one-year renewal options (October 2026 posting, March 6, 2025 due date). Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid encompassing 300-plus food items including fresh fruit for July 2026 through June 2027 (May 2026 posting, June 8, 2026 bid due). Activity shows consistent school-district procurement across Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida, with contract terms typically spanning full academic or fiscal years (July-June) and award emphasis on cost (40% weighting common), local sourcing and geographic preference (10–15% weighting), food-safety and HACCP compliance, and traceability documentation.
