UNSPSC 50525368: Non GMO sweet september peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO sweet september 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 50525368 Non GMO sweet September peaches is a Commodity code that nominally names a single produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities show little activity aligned with this code's specific scope. Instead, school districts across multiple states are currently soliciting comprehensive fresh produce procurement—including fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and prepared produce items—under what appear to be tagged opportunities that do not match the code's narrow framing. The Commodity code itself does not appear in active use for peach-specific purchasing; rather, state and local food service programs are buying broad seasonal produce assortments through RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs that bundle multiple commodity lines into single contracts. The issuing bodies are primarily school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin, including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Douglas County School System, Early County Board of Education, and Hillsborough County Public Schools. These districts are consolidating produce purchasing under annual contracts rather than seeking single-item commodity procurement.

The recent opportunities reflect school nutrition programs bundling 60 to 72+ fresh produce line items into unified contracts with annual terms, response dates clustered between March and May 2026, and estimated annual contract values ranging from $78,000 (Madison petite bananas) to $4.4 million (Douglas County GEC cooperative covering 30 districts). Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026 with $78,000 estimated annual value; Hancock County Schools IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year, due June 26, 2026; Bulloch County School District IFP for locally-grown produce requiring 200-mile sourcing within Georgia, due May 4, 2026; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 72 fresh produce and egg line items serving 30 Georgia districts, due March 4, 2026, with estimated spend of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Activity is concentrated in Georgia (Hancock, Bartow, Bulloch, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn, Douglas, Early, McAllen, and Hillsborough Counties) with additional solicitations in Wisconsin and Texas. The code shows minimal recent procurement activity focused specifically on non-GMO September peaches; opportunities tagged to this code represent general school food service produce contracting rather than single-product sourcing.
