UNSPSC 50544916: Frozen non GMO early diamond nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO early diamond 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 50544916 Frozen non-GMO early diamond nectarines is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single frozen fruit product, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little activity aligned with that specific scope. Instead, the code appears in school district grocery and produce solicitations covering hundreds of line items spanning fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, meats, dairy, grains, and prepared foods for child nutrition programs. School districts—including Bridgeport (Connecticut), Hancock County (Georgia), Early County (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), and Douglas County (Georgia)—dominate the issuing bodies, with procurement officers seeking competitive bids under IFB and RFP notices to supply National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. The actual buying pattern reflects broad-based food service provisioning rather than specialty frozen nectarine procurement; vendors responding to these opportunities compete across multiple commodity categories simultaneously, not on a single product line.

The most recent opportunities cluster heavily in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's grocery items bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), which covers over 1,100 line items and requires Buy American compliance with 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026), spanning 200+ produce items with July 1, 2026 contract start; the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP for a 30-district cooperative (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas; and Rockwood R-VI's grocery items solicitation (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) covering 900+ line items for 6,900 daily lunch participants. All contracts emphasize firm fixed pricing, HACCP compliance, state and federal buy-American requirements, E-Verify authorization, and delivery to multiple school sites; payment terms typically run Net 30 to 45 days.
