UNSPSC 50525325: Non GMO flat type peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO flat type 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 50525325 Non GMO flat type peaches is a Commodity code that in practice spans fresh produce procurement for state and local food service operations—primarily school districts, healthcare coalitions, county parks, and special districts sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables for meal programs, concessions, and institutional dining. Recent solicitations show school districts buying peaches and mixed fresh produce alongside broader commodity bids covering apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits; county parks seeking concession food services that include fresh fruit availability; and healthcare organizations procuring general produce for institutional foodservice. The scope encompasses both single-commodity buys (petite bananas by case, for example) and multi-line-item fresh produce contracts where peaches appear as one line item among dozens of produce categories. Vendors supply produce meeting specified quality standards, ripeness grades, case pack configurations, delivery windows, food safety certifications, and sometimes local or organic sourcing requirements. State and local school nutrition programs dominate the buyer base under this code, supplemented by county boards of education, special healthcare districts, and county recreational facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin school districts, with secondary activity from Florida counties and Midwestern educational buyers. Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, response due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks requiring Wisconsin sourcing within 400 miles (approximately 5,900 servings weekly through November 2026, response due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, and root vegetables (sealed bids due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System in Georgia sought local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP response due June 22, 2026, contract term July 2026–June 2027 with four renewal options); and Early County Board of Education in Georgia requested line-by-line food bids including fresh produce for three schools (bids due June 8, 2026). The State of Georgia also posted a broader food supplies bid in May 2026 (response due June 22, 2026). Local-vendor preferences, Buy American provisions, organic pricing adjustments, and HACCP certification requirements appear frequently across these solicitations.
