UNSPSC 50525357: Non GMO spring lady peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO spring lady 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 50525357 Non GMO spring lady peaches is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single produce line item, but the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under this code shows little alignment with the specific commodity name. Of the seventeen opportunities posted from February through July 2026, only one—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026—is a single-item produce purchase; the remainder are broad multi-line fresh produce procurements serving school nutrition programs, ranging from 60 to 400+ line items encompassing apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, peppers, tomatoes, and prepared produce options. The code appears to be used as a catch-all family-level tag for school food service fresh produce contracts rather than as a precise commodity identifier. School districts dominate the issuing bodies—Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, McAllen Independent, and Austin Independent School Districts, along with state procurement in Georgia—reflecting the consistent annual demand for fresh produce across child nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items with a July 1, 2026 start (questions due June 16, sealed bids due June 26), Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles sourced (proposals due June 22, award anticipated July 20), Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles for its Farm to School program (proposals due May 4, contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), Liberty County Board of Education's two parallel IFBs for produce and food products (sealed bids due April 29), McAllen Independent School District's RFP for fresh produce serving 20,000 students across 31 campuses (proposals due March 6, contract begins April 9, 2026), and Austin Independent School District's RFP for fresh produce and a la carte beverages under the Good Food Purchasing Program (proposals due March 11, 2026). Most opportunities are RFPs or IFBs with contract terms of one school year (July through June) with renewable annual options; evaluation typically weights cost at 30–50 percent, product quality and availability at 15–30 percent, vendor qualifications and experience at 10–20 percent, and compliance with Buy American, HACCP, and local-sourcing requirements. This code shows active and consistent state and local procurement activity in school nutrition but poor alignment between the nominal commodity name and actual solicitation scope.
