UNSPSC 50544915: Frozen non GMO earliglo nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO earliglo 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 50544915 Frozen non-GMO earliglo nectarines is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, sits within school nutrition and institutional food service purchasing. However, the recent opportunities show minimal direct relevance to this specific frozen nectarine line item. School districts and municipalities are actively procuring comprehensive frozen and fresh produce portfolios under related codes, but the opportunities sourced do not target frozen nectarines specifically. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), a city government (City of Bridgeport), and a state agency (State of Georgia). These jurisdictions treat grocery and produce procurement as ongoing operational necessity supporting National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP food safety protocols, and nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act.

Recent opportunities in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri show activity across fresh produce RFQs and comprehensive grocery IFBs posted between February and June 2026. The City of Bridgeport issued an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (due June 30, 2026) supporting central warehouse and school-site delivery; Hancock County Board of Education sought fresh produce across 200+ items (due June 26, 2026); Early County Board of Education procured 300+ food items plus non-food supplies (due June 8, 2026); and Douglas County School System issued an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia with estimated spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million by area (due March 4, 2026). Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri procured over 900 grocery line items (due April 29, 2026) for approximately 6,900 daily lunch participants. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Georgia, with additional activity in Connecticut and Missouri. The code itself shows little current direct solicitation for frozen nectarines as a standalone item; state and local buyers are instead aggregating produce into larger commodity bundles where specialty frozen fruits compete against standardized produce offerings.
