UNSPSC 50544923: Frozen non GMO garden delight nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO garden delight 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 50544923 Frozen non-GMO garden delight nectarines (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within school nutrition procurement, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct alignment with the specific frozen nectarine commodity. School districts and boards of education are the primary issuing bodies pursuing food service contracts in the recent opportunity set, sourcing comprehensive grocery and fresh produce portfolios that span multiple fruit and vegetable categories to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Work being solicited includes line-item bidding on broad food supplies—frozen and fresh produce, dairy, grains, meats, condiments, and prepared items—rather than single-SKU frozen fruit purchases. Vendors must meet stringent compliance requirements including Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, E-Verify authorization, product formulation statements, nutritional labeling, and whole-grain or low-sodium specifications. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with potential renewal options, firm fixed pricing with limited escalation provisions tied to documented market data, delivery to multiple school sites between early morning and early afternoon Monday through Friday, and Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms. Vendors must carry $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability insurance with the school district named as additional insured.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with recent RFPs and IFBs posted from the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, City Schools of Decatur, Hancock County Board of Education, and Early County Board of Education in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; and the City of Bridgeport in Connecticut. The Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative spans 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual expenditures of $4.4 million and $1.1 million across two geographic areas, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. The Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services solicited over 900 line items of grocery items with bids due April 29, 2026, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items with sealed bids due April 23, 2026. No recent opportunities target frozen nectarines specifically, and the code shows little discrete recent activity aligned to this single frozen fruit commodity.
