UNSPSC 50544910: Frozen non GMO autumn star nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO autumn star 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 50544910, Frozen non-GMO autumn star nectarines, is a Commodity code that maps poorly to current state and local procurement activity. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the nine most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this Commodity involve broad school nutrition procurement across frozen foods, fresh produce, grocery staples, eggs, and comprehensive food service distribution — none of which are specific frozen nectarines or focus on autumn star varieties at all. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent or broad tagging by issuing bodies, or that individual frozen fruit items are being bundled into multi-category food service contracts rather than procured as standalone line items under commodity-specific codes.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri between January and June 2026, with solicitations from the City Schools of Decatur (IFB issued April 16, 2026, due May 15), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB due June 26, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri (bid due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (bid due April 23, 2026), and the Douglas County School System (RFP for fresh produce and eggs issued February 4, 2026, due March 4, with estimated spend of $5.5 million across 30 participating districts). Frozen or specialty nectarines do not appear as line items in any of these solicitations. Pursuit under this code as written carries minimal opportunity signal; vendors positioning frozen nectarines should monitor broader produce and frozen-food contracts and bid through multi-item grocery or produce categories rather than expect standalone frozen-nectarine demand.
