UNSPSC 50544924: Frozen non GMO goldmine nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO goldmine 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 50544924 Frozen non-GMO goldmine nectarines (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity presently tagged under this code. Recent solicitations classified under this Commodity code are requesting comprehensive grocery and food service procurement — including fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, proteins, and non-food supplies — for school nutrition programs and institutional food service, rather than frozen nectarines as a discrete product line. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the posting system or a gap between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns. School districts, county boards of education, and municipal procurement offices are the primary issuing bodies across recent opportunities, with all solicitations supporting federally funded nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program) and subject to Buy American provisions requiring domestic agricultural content. Contracts are awarded annually or multi-year with firm pricing and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Missouri, with notable solicitations from the Hancock County Board of Education (IFB, June 26, 2026 response date), Early County Board of Education (June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (IFB, May 15, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County (April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFP for fresh produce and eggs, March 4, 2026, estimated $4.4 million–$1.1 million by area; and RFP for food supply and distribution services, February 18, 2026, estimated $9 million annually). Connecticut also shows activity via the City of Bridgeport's grocery bid (June 30, 2026). The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (June 22, 2026) with details in an attached document. Vendors should note that all opportunities enforce HACCP plans, food recall procedures, $500,000–$2 million liability insurance minimums, Buy American compliance, and E-Verify authorization; most allow award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
