UNSPSC 50544900: Frozen non GMO nectarines

The type of peach with a smooth-skinned fruit that is a frequent somatic mutation of the normal peach that has been frozen for preservation. 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 50544900 Frozen non-GMO nectarines, a Class code, sees sparse recent activity in state and local procurement — the source contains no opportunities explicitly soliciting frozen nectarines or frozen stone fruits by name. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span broad grocery procurement for school nutrition programs across multiple states, encompassing hundreds of line items across frozen and fresh produce categories, but none isolate frozen nectarines as a discrete solicitation focus. The code's narrow commodity scope (a specific frozen fruit variety) does not align with the breadth of the state and local solicitations currently posted; school districts and municipalities are buying comprehensive frozen and fresh produce assortments bundled with proteins, dairy, grains, and supplies rather than pursuing single-fruit product lines.

The recent opportunities that carry this code reference include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases procurement for the Bridgeport Board of Education (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, covering over 1,100 grocery line items), Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026, spanning 200+ produce items), Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items solicitation (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026, with 900+ line items), and the Douglas County School System RFP for a regional cooperative serving 30 school districts (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026, estimated at $4.4 million and $1.1 million by area). All solicitations emphasize Buy American domestic content minimums (typically 51 percent for processed goods), HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing with transportation included, and delivery to multiple school sites. The geographic concentration reflects Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri school nutrition procurement, with Georgia school systems representing the highest frequency of recent postings. Pursuing this code requires identifying opportunities that disaggregate frozen stone fruits or negotiate nectarines as a line item within larger school nutrition contracts, which current postings do not explicitly support.
