UNSPSC 50544917: Frozen non GMO fairlane nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO fairlane 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 50544917 Frozen non-GMO Fairlane nectarines (Commodity) represents a narrow product line that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's highly specific designation—frozen, non-GMO, branded Fairlane variety nectarines—identifies a specialty frozen fruit product, but recent solicitations in the corresponding opportunity block do not reference this particular item or variant. Instead, state and local buyers soliciting under related grocery and food-service codes are procuring broad frozen and fresh produce categories, fresh fruits (apples, berries, citrus, melons), and general frozen foods for school nutrition and institutional foodservice, rather than seeking nectarines by varietal name or frozen specialty fruit lines.

School districts and education authorities dominate the recent activity, with solicitations from 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, and Douglas County School System, primarily in Georgia and Connecticut. Recent opportunities posted from February through June 2026 include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs (across 30 districts in Georgia, with proposals due March 4, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County's bid for fresh produce (due April 23, 2026), and the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026). These solicitations procure commodity-level produce and frozen items in volume for school lunch and breakfast programs, but none target frozen nectarines as a line item or specification. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its specific product designation.
