UNSPSC 50544902: Frozen non GMO arctic mist nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO arctic mist nectarines that have 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 50544902 Frozen non-GMO arctic mist nectarines, a Commodity code, does not show meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities in the dataset tagged to this code encompass broad grocery and fresh-produce sourcing for school nutrition programs—including fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and non-food items—but contain no specific solicitations for frozen nectarines, GMO-status variants, or arctic mist cultivars. School district nutrition procurement under this code spans multiple issuing bodies (city and county boards of education, independent school districts, regional cooperative purchasing groups) and covers general categories of food service products rather than single-SKU commodity sourcing.

The recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) issuing IFB BNB052266 for grocery items with a due date of June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posting IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce with a due date of June 26, 2026; the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issuing IFB for frozen foods and grocery with a due date of May 15, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) soliciting grocery items with a due date of April 29, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs with a due date of March 4, 2026 and estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The mismatch between the code's specificity (frozen nectarines) and the actual scope of buying activity (general school nutrition commodity bundles) suggests this code assignment may reflect a data-tagging error rather than active market demand for the named product line.
