UNSPSC 50525359: Non GMO springcrest peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO springcrest 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 50525359 Non GMO springcrest peaches is a Commodity code that captures fresh-fruit procurement by state and local governments, school districts, and health-care coalitions purchasing produce for food service operations. The recent opportunities under this code reflect much broader fresh-produce buying than the nominal code name suggests: school districts are bidding petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and comprehensive produce line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty fruits; county parks departments are soliciting food-service concessionaires for park facilities; and health-care organizations are requesting general produce proposals. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county parks and recreation divisions (Collier County), health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity and typically structure purchases as line-item bids or RFBs for the school year, often with specific ripeness, size, packaging, and delivery-schedule requirements tied to USDA commodity standards or district food-service logistics.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and State of Georgia procurement) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with additional recent solicitations in Florida (Collier County) and one general health-care produce RFP (Marion Health Care Coalition). Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, projecting 70–90 cases weekly and annual contract value of $78,000 for the 2026–2027 school year with delivery to a single production center between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. weekdays; Madison's concurrent RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring Wisconsin-sourced produce delivered ready-to-eat with farm-of-origin traceability and a $0.20 per pound organic preference discount; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with bid opening June 29, 2026, covering multiple apple varieties, berries, root vegetables, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school sites July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles with proposal submission by June 22, 2026, and contract award anticipated for July 20, 2026. School districts consistently weight cost at 40 percent and emphasize Buy American provisions, domestic sourcing, HACCP plans, delivery logistics, and seasonal availability documentation.
