UNSPSC 50525363: Non GMO sunhigh peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO sunhigh 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 50525363 Non GMO sunhigh peaches is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of fresh peaches meeting non-GMO specifications for food service operations at state and local government venues. State and local governments buy peaches under this code primarily through school food-service programs, county parks departments, and health-care coalition nutrition operations. The scope of work involves supplying fresh fruit meeting specified ripeness, size, and quality standards; delivery to designated food-service facilities; compliance with food-safety and traceability documentation; and, in some cases, commitment to domestic agricultural sourcing. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county boards of education (school districts), county parks and recreation divisions, and specialized procurement vehicles such as health-care coalitions. School districts represent the dominant buyer type, with recent activity concentrated in states where school lunch and fresh-fruit programs drive sustained produce procurement.

Recent state and local activity under this code occurs primarily in Georgia and Wisconsin. The Madison Metropolitan School District has posted concurrent fresh-fruit and fresh-vegetable-snack bids (RFB 4163 due July 29, 2026, and RFB 4162 for petite bananas with weekly usage of 70–90 cases and annual contract value of $78,000 for September 2026 through June 2027) that establish the operational scale and delivery cadence typical of school-district peach procurement. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 fresh-produce line items for 2026–27 delivery to three school locations, with a Buy American provision requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed items. The Bartow County School System (Georgia) posted RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (due June 22, 2026, for contract award July 20, 2026, through June 30, 2027) with a 400-mile local-sourcing requirement and weighted evaluation emphasizing cost (30 points), seasonal variety (25 points), and delivery capability (20 points). Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025) that includes concession operations across multiple venues, and Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) solicited produce proposals (SP0040000017708, due August 21, 2026) for the 2026–2027 fiscal period. Activity is sparse under the specific peach Commodity code itself; broader fresh-produce family-level solicitations dominate recent state and local procurement in the geography, indicating that peach demand is typically bundled within general fresh-fruit programs rather than solicited as a standalone commodity.
