UNSPSC 50525344: Non GMO redhaven peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO redhaven 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 50525344 Non GMO redhaven peaches, a Commodity code, covers fresh peaches procured by state and local food service operations for school nutrition programs, institutional cafeterias, and park concession facilities. The recent opportunities solicited under this code include petite bananas, fresh fruits and vegetables for school snack programs, multi-item produce bundles for school nutrition, and general fresh fruit and vegetable supplies—a notably broad range that suggests the code functions as a catch-all for fresh-produce procurement rather than a vehicle exclusively for redhaven peaches. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, and Early County Board of Education all posting RFBs or RFPs for fresh produce in recent months. Collier County Board of County Commissioners and Marion Health Care Coalition also appear, indicating some activity from county parks and healthcare coalitions, but K–12 nutrition remains the primary buyer category.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Wisconsin, with recent solicitations from Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, and Early County Schools in Georgia, and Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin. Collier County (Florida) and Marion Health Care Coalition represent secondary pockets of activity. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, emphasizing Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles and offering a 5% diverse-owned business preference; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 produce line items due June 26, 2026, with strict Buy American content minimums and delivery to three school sites; Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables due June 22, 2026, requiring 400-mile sourcing from local farms and weighted evaluation emphasizing seasonal variety and product quality; and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, spanning 300+ food items including fresh fruits and vegetables for national school lunch and breakfast programs. Contract terms typically run July through June to align with school fiscal years, with annual values ranging from approximately $78,000 for single-item banana contracts to multi-category food service agreements, and local-sourcing and geographic-preference provisions appear consistently across Georgia and Wisconsin school districts.
