UNSPSC 50544929: Frozen non GMO kay pearl nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO kay 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 50544929 Frozen non-GMO kay pearl nectarines is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded in the recent opportunities block. The recent solicitations posted under or near this code span broad grocery and food-service categories — frozen foods, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, grains, meats, and condiments — but none explicitly target frozen kay pearl nectarines or other specific frozen fruit varieties by name. The code's narrow product definition does not match the wide scope of multi-item food purchases that school districts, county boards of education, and municipal school systems are actually soliciting. Issuing bodies in the recent block include independent school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, City Schools of Decatur and Douglas County in Georgia, Early County and Hancock County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), municipal school nutrition programs (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and state-level food procurement (State of Georgia). These jurisdictions are sourcing consolidated food service contracts that bundle frozen products alongside fresh produce, dairy, grains, and proteins rather than single frozen-fruit commodity purchases.

The geographic spread of recent activity clusters in Georgia, with solicitations from Douglas County, Decatur, Hancock County, Early County, and Savannah-Chatham County, and extends to Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood), and the State of Georgia procurement office. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two geographic areas with an estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026); the City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery items for the 2026-2027 school year with delivery to ten school sites (due May 15, 2026); and the Rockwood R-VI School District bid for over 900 line items of grocery items supporting approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily (due April 29, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity specifically tied to frozen kay pearl nectarines as a standalone procurement category.
