UNSPSC 50544914: Frozen non GMO diamond ray nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO diamond ray 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 50544914 Frozen non-GMO diamond ray nectarines is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specialized frozen fruit product—does not align with the state and local opportunities tagged to it. Recent solicitations under this code show heavy purchasing of general grocery items, frozen foods, fresh produce, and school nutrition staples, not the narrow product category the code describes. The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code are primarily school districts and school nutrition authorities across multiple states, reflecting the dominant role of child nutrition programs in state and local food procurement, with some municipal purchasing offices also present.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia, where the Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System all posted fresh produce and grocery solicitations between February and June 2026, alongside Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, specialty items) with bids due June 26, 2026; the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, bids due March 4, 2026; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's procurement for over 900 grocery line items with bids due April 29, 2026 through the NUTRIKIDS electronic system. All solicitations impose Buy American provisions (typically 51 percent domestic content), HACCP food safety plans, competitive sealed bidding or RFP processes, firm fixed pricing throughout the contract term with limited escalation provisions, and delivery to multiple school sites with no separate fuel surcharges permitted.
