UNSPSC 50525356: Non GMO snow king peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO snow king 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 50525356 Non-GMO snow king peaches is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity does not match this narrow scope. School districts and other public bodies across Georgia, Texas, and Florida are issuing solicitations tagged to this code that cover fresh produce procurement broadly — including bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, peppers, carrots, tomatoes, eggs, and specialty items — rather than peaches specifically. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual buying suggests either misclassification in procurement systems or use of a catch-all produce code by school nutrition programs. When opportunities do reference peaches or stone fruits, they appear as single line items within comprehensive fresh-produce RFPs and IFBs rather than as standalone contracting vehicles.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County Schools (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia serving through a cooperative). Georgia dominates the geographic spread, with activity also in Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026 ($78,000 annual contract value with weekly delivery), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for fresh fruit and vegetable program delivery due March 11, 2026 ($600,000 estimated annual budget for USDA-grant-funded produce to elementary schools), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs due March 4, 2026 (approximately $5.5 million combined annual spending across 30 school districts). All require HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, weekly or twice-weekly delivery, and on-time fill-rate minimums of 98 percent or higher.
