UNSPSC 50525326: Non GMO flavorcrest peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO flavorcrest 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 50525326 Non GMO flavorcrest peaches is a Commodity code. State and local school nutrition programs are the primary buyers under this code, procuring fresh produce to support National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA-funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. Recent solicitations show school districts purchasing bananas, apples, mixed produce, and vegetables through formal competitive bidding processes, though the UNSPSC category name references a specific peach variety. The work itself spans fresh fruit and vegetable procurement at scale—district-wide contracts supplying 13 to 31 school sites with weekly or twice-weekly deliveries, quality specifications including ripeness standards and shelf-life minimums, HACCP plans, food recall procedures, and compliance with Buy American provisions and USDA nutrition standards. Issuing bodies are almost entirely school nutrition programs: Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Douglas County School System (on behalf of 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative), Early County Board of Education, and Hillsborough County Public Schools. These are primarily district-level nutrition departments issuing RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices on annual or multi-year cycles aligned to school-year budgets.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with recent opportunities from Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and Douglas County (serving 30 districts statewide), along with active procurement in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with weekly deliveries of 70–90 cases and an estimated annual contract value of $78,000; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFQDST for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty fruits and vegetables due March 11, 2026, with an estimated annual budget of $600,000 funded entirely by USDA grant; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options for one to four additional years, firm pricing for at least the first contract year, net 30 payment terms, and awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a line-item basis.
