UNSPSC 50544925: Frozen non GMO grand pearl nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO grand pearl 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 50544925 Frozen non-GMO grand pearl nectarines, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable and frozen fruit products procured by state and local education, social services, and nutrition programs. While the code name specifies a narrow product line, state and local buyers soliciting under this code are actually purchasing broad food-service portfolios spanning produce, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared items to support school lunch and breakfast programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix — Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and the Bridgeport Board of Education (through the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases) — alongside county social-services departments and state procurement offices. These buyers expect vendor compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items), HACCP plans, USDA nutrition standards including the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, E-Verify authorization, general liability insurance, and delivery to multiple school or facility sites on firm fixed-price contracts running July through June fiscal years.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. The Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB on June 10, 2026 (due June 26) for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple apple and berry varieties, root vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026-27 school year; the Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8) for approximately 300 food items plus non-food supplies; the City of Bridgeport sought electronic bids on June 30, 2026 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote request on October 13, 2026 (due October 19) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for the Department of Community Services. Contract awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with the option to split by line item or award to multiple vendors. Pricing is firm for the contract term (typically twelve months) with transportation and packing included; separate fuel surcharges are prohibited.
