UNSPSC 50525361: Non GMO sugar lady peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO sugar 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 50525361 Non GMO sugar lady peaches is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh peach procurement by state and local food service operations, school districts, and healthcare facilities. State and local governments buy under this code to stock school lunch programs, park concession facilities, and institutional food services with fresh produce meeting specific quality, ripeness, and delivery standards. The code reflects procurement of individual commodity items within broader food-service and nutrition programs rather than comprehensive produce contracts. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county parks departments (Collier County), and healthcare-affiliated purchasing coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). These entities solicit produce through a mix of IFB, RFQ, and RFP vehicles, often bundling peaches and similar items within larger fresh-produce or food-service bids that may not isolate this specific commodity as a line item.

Recent activity centers in Georgia and Wisconsin, with additional procurement in Florida and the upper Midwest. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 requesting petite bananas (a similar commodity category) with weekly usage of 70–90 cases and annual contract value estimated at $78,000 for the 2026–2027 school year (bids due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty fruits with delivery to three school sites for the 2026–2027 fiscal year (bids due June 26, 2026); and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles with contract term July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options for four renewal terms (proposals due June 22, 2026). Most school-district bids emphasize domestic sourcing, HACCP compliance, firm pricing including delivery, and Buy American provisions where applicable. The code shows limited standalone activity—peaches typically appear as line items within composite produce or food-service bids rather than as solicitations in their own right.
