UNSPSC 50525324: Non GMO flame crest peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO flame 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 50525324 Non GMO flame crest peaches is a Commodity code that covers fresh produce sourcing by state and local government food-service operations, school districts, and public health entities. Recent solicitations show the code in use for general fresh-produce procurement across multiple venues — from school nutrition programs supplying student meals and snacks to county parks concession operations to health-care coalition food services. The scope spans both single-commodity buys (petite bananas for Madison Metropolitan School District at 70–90 cases weekly) and broad multi-item produce line-item bids (Hancock County Schools' 200+ produce SKUs including apples, berries, root vegetables, and citrus across a full school year). School districts and county boards of education dominate as issuing bodies; at least two school districts (Madison Metropolitan and Hancock County) and two county entities (Collier County Parks, Bartow County Schools) appear in the recent block. Vendors face consistent requirements across jurisdictions: HACCP plan submission, E-Verify compliance, debarment verification, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million depending on scope), and often a Buy American or domestic-sourcing preference. Geographic sourcing preferences are also common — Madison Metropolitan and Bartow County both require produce sourced within 400 miles of their locations, and some contracts carry explicit local-vendor or regional-preference scoring bonuses.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Upper Midwest. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit–vegetable snacks in July 2026 with bids due July 29, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce covering the full school year with bids due June 26, 2026. Bartow County School System (Georgia) released an RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables with proposal submission June 22, 2026. Collier County (Florida) posted an ITN for food-concession services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025 (note: due date is prior to posting date; source shows March 6, 2025 as stated). Marion Health Care Coalition issued a produce RFP with responses due August 21, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line food bids including 300+ items due June 8, 2026. Evaluation typically weighs cost between 30% and 40%, with quality, compliance, local sourcing, and past performance splitting the remainder. Diverse-business status, when offered as a criterion, carries 5% or less weight. Contract terms generally run one school or fiscal year with optional renewals, and award typically goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder unless the RFP permits multiple vendor selection.
