UNSPSC 50525346: Non GMO regina peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO regina 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 50525346 Non GMO regina peaches is a Commodity code that represents fresh peach sourcing for food service operations across state and local jurisdictions. Recent state and local opportunities show that this code captures fresh-produce procurement by school districts, county park systems, healthcare coalitions, and other public food-service operators seeking single-source or multi-item produce contracts. The work involves sourcing and delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables meeting specified quality, ripeness, size, temperature, and food-safety standards, often with traceability documentation and HACCP plan submission requirements. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments (Collier County), healthcare providers (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level procurement (State of Georgia). School districts dominate recent activity, frequently bundling individual fruit lines (petite bananas, apples, berries, melons) or issuing broader fresh-produce RFBs with 200+ line items spanning multiple produce categories for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and state-level food procurement) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with additional activity in Florida (Collier County). Procurement timelines typically align with school-year purchasing cycles: June through August for fall contract awards effective July 1 for the academic year, with contract terms running through June 30 of the following year. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, bids due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites (bids due June 26, 2026), and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026). Evaluation criteria commonly weight cost heavily (40%), with supplemental points for local or diverse-vendor status, traceability documentation, quality and service capability, and references. Many solicitations impose geographic sourcing requirements (400-mile radius preferred) and award to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bids.
