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, a Commodity code, represents fresh fruit procurement for school food service programs, healthcare facilities, and county parks—specifically small-format fresh peaches meeting non-GMO and ripeness specifications for institutional dining. State and local governments buying under this code purchase peaches as components of school lunch programs, regional park concession operations, and healthcare facility food services, typically procured through IFB or RFP alongside broader produce line items rather than as standalone commodities. The issuing bodies span 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), and healthcare coalition purchasing organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition), with school districts dominating the recent-opportunity pipeline. Scope requirements reflect institutional food-safety standards: HACCP plan submission, delivery temperature and ripeness-stage specifications (when detailed), minimum fill rates on orders, and traceability documentation by farm of origin where fresh-fruit programs apply USDA sourcing mandates.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Upper Midwest, with documented opportunities in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County). The most representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (July 29, 2026 response date, projected annual value $78,000 with 70–90 cases weekly during school sessions) and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables requiring 400-mile sourcing (June 22, 2026 response date with award anticipated July 20, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (June 26, 2026 sealed-bid deadline) specifies over 200 fresh produce line items with delivery to three school locations July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. School districts typically apply 40% cost weighting in evaluation and require Buy American certification; several enforce local-sourcing or geographic-proximity preferences (Wisconsin's 400-mile filter, Georgia's local-farm sourcing, Collier County's 10-point local-vendor preference). Contract terms generally run July through June aligned to the school fiscal year, with delivery windows 5:00–7:00 a.m. weekday mornings to central food production facilities.
