UNSPSC 50544922: Frozen non GMO flat type nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO flat type 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 50544922 Frozen non-GMO flat type nectarines (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within school nutrition and institutional food procurement, though the recent opportunity record shows limited specific demand for this item in isolation. State and local governments procure frozen nectarines primarily as part of broader frozen-produce and grocery-item contracts that support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across school districts. The code sits within a much larger ecosystem of food service procurement spanning fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables, dairy, grains, and prepared items. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education—including independent school systems and county systems—supplemented by city procurement offices purchasing on behalf of school nutrition services. School districts dominate the buying pattern, with recent activity centered on annual contracts running July through June to align with the academic year.

Recent opportunities show no direct solicitations specifically for frozen nectarines; instead, the code appears tangentially within multi-category grocery and frozen-foods RFPs and IFBs issued by the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (PE77310NONST2026000000018, IFB, due May 15, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB, due June 26, 2026), among others. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County) and extends to Connecticut, Missouri, and other states. All recent school nutrition contracts require USDA Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP certification, firm fixed pricing with limited escalation, and delivery Monday through Friday to central warehouses or individual school sites. The code shows activity primarily as a line item within larger frozen-produce categories rather than as a standalone procurement vehicle, indicating limited standalone market opportunity at the state and local level right now.
