UNSPSC 50525338: Non GMO loring peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO loring 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 50525338 Non GMO loring peaches is a Commodity code covering fresh peach procurement by state and local food-service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct activity under this specific code. State and local governments buy fresh produce — including peaches — as components of broader food-service contracts for school nutrition programs, county parks concessions, and healthcare facilities. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments (Collier County Parks and Recreation), and special-purpose healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts dominate the recent activity, procuring fresh produce for National School Lunch Program and USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program compliance, often with local-sourcing mandates, traceability documentation, and organic-product preferences built into evaluation scoring.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast — Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and State of Georgia) and Florida (Collier County) — with additional school district procurement in Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks (due July 29, 2026), sourced within 400 miles and within Wisconsin with a $0.20 per pound organic preference; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering 200+ line items across the 2026-27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026); and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles, evaluated on seasonal variety (25 points), cost (30 points), and product quality (due June 22, 2026). Peach procurement, when it occurs under this code, typically flows through these multi-item produce awards rather than single-commodity solicitations.
