UNSPSC 50525331: Non GMO ivory princess peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO ivory 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 50525331 Non GMO ivory princess peaches is a Commodity code covering specialty peach varieties sourced and delivered to state and local institutional food services, particularly school districts and county parks departments. The recent opportunities show that peaches and other fresh produce under this code are procured primarily for school nutrition programs, county recreation concessions, and healthcare facility food services. State and local buyers under this code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Parks and Recreation), and healthcare-affiliated organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition). The scope of work extends beyond peaches alone to encompass fresh fruit and vegetable procurement broadly, with peaches appearing as one line item within larger produce contracts that specify variety, ripeness stage, case size, delivery temperature, and traceability requirements. Buyers consistently impose HACCP plan submission, E-Verify authorization, debarment certification, and commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 minimum coverage) as contract prerequisites.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with the most active solicitations posted by Georgia school systems (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County), Wisconsin school districts (Madison Metropolitan), and Florida county governments (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026), specifying ripeness stages 3.5 through 4.5 per Chiquita color guide, weekly delivery to the Food Production Center at 55 degrees Fahrenheit minimum, and a projected annual contract value of $78,000 for the September 2026–June 2027 term; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 produce line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits across three school locations (sealed bids due June 26, 2026, contract July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027); and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026, and contract award anticipated July 20, 2026. Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025) includes concession food and beverage provisioning with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points for vendors meeting Collier or Lee County permanent business address criteria. Geographic preference filters appear in Wisconsin (400-mile sourcing requirement) and Georgia procurements (400-mile locational filters for some contracts); diverse-owned business enterprise status carries 5–10 points in evaluation across most school district opportunities.
