UNSPSC 50544935: Frozen non GMO red diamond nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO red diamond 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 50544935 Frozen non-GMO red diamond nectarines is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local contract activity. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for frozen non-GMO red diamond nectarines or other single frozen fruit products. Instead, the posted state and local opportunities span broad grocery and fresh produce procurement — whole categories of food service items for school districts, municipalities, and county boards of education. When nectarines appear at all in these solicitations (as in the Hancock County Schools fresh produce bid and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's produce contract), they are listed among dozens of other produce lines, not procured separately. The code itself names a narrowly defined commodity, but the recent solicitations suggest that state and local food service procurement operates at a much wider scope level, bundling produce, meats, grains, dairy, and supplies into single contracts or family-level categories rather than sourcing individual frozen fruit products through standalone bids.

No recent state or local opportunities specifically target frozen non-GMO red diamond nectarines or close variants under this code. The most relevant recent activity involves fresh produce contracts — such as Hancock County Board of Education (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System via GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) — but these procurements consolidate 72 or more produce line items (apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, citrus, and leafy greens) rather than specifying frozen nectarines. School districts across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri are the primary state and local buyers of food service products, with activity concentrated in school nutrition programs under contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Buy American provision (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products) and HACCP certification requirements apply across these opportunities. A vendor focused exclusively on frozen non-GMO red diamond nectarines would find this code and its tier level misaligned with how state and local food service procurement actually consolidates demand.
