UNSPSC 50525343: Non GMO redglobe peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO redglobe 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 50525343 Non GMO redglobe peaches is a Commodity code that describes fresh produce items state and local governments purchase for food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and park concessions. Recent solicitations show school districts and county governments buying specific fresh produce line items — ranging from common fruits like bananas and apples to specialty items like kiwis, mangos, and starfruit — as part of broader food procurement for student meals and visitor services. The scope encompasses fresh fruit delivered in bulk (case packs for school districts, weekly volumes for park concessions) and ready-to-eat prepared produce for specialized programs like the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county parks and recreation departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). School nutrition departments dominate recent activity, with districts specifying production timelines tied to school-year calendars (typically July through June contracts), delivery frequencies (often Monday through Friday early-morning windows), and food-safety compliance requirements including HACCP plans and traceability documentation.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. Madison Metropolitan School District issued two RFBs in July 2026 — one for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, bids due July 29, 2026) and one for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks requiring Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles, 5,900 weekly servings for an elementary USDA program (bids due July 29, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items spanning apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school locations (bids due June 26, 2026, contract July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027). Bartow County School System in Georgia sought local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles (RFP due June 22, 2026, contract July 20, 2026–June 30, 2027 with renewal options). Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited food services for North Collier Regional Park including concession operations via ITN (due March 6, 2025), which encompasses fresh produce as part of a broader food-and-beverage scope. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line food bids including vegetables, fruits, and grains (due June 8, 2026). Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals for 2026–2027 (due August 21, 2026). Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia school districts and light in Florida and Wisconsin.
