UNSPSC 50525360: Non GMO sugar giant peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO sugar giant 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 50525360 Non GMO sugar giant peaches (Commodity) does not align with the work state and local governments are currently procuring under this code designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect school district food service procurement for fresh produce broadly—bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared produce items—rather than the specific commodity of non-GMO sugar giant peaches. School districts across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida are actively soliciting fresh produce for child nutrition programs, but the opportunities in the record do not isolate peaches as a line item or specify varietal requirements matching the Commodity code's nominal scope. The code shows no recent activity that targets peaches distinctly, let alone non-GMO sugar giant peaches by name.

School nutrition programs and food service departments—primarily independent school districts, county boards of education, and cooperative purchasing groups—are the dominant issuing bodies. The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with active solicitations from Madison Metropolitan School District and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative (serving 30 Georgia districts), Liberty County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County school systems, plus McAllen and Austin Independent School Districts in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026, covering approximately $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts), Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFQDST for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery to 18 elementary schools (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000, USDA-funded), and Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (bids due July 29, 2026, annual contract value $78,000). The code does not currently represent a distinct procurement category in state and local sourcing activity.
