UNSPSC 50544936: Frozen non GMO red gold nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO red gold 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 50544936 Frozen non GMO red gold nectarines, a Commodity code, does not map to the scope of state and local procurement activity actually being solicited today. The recent opportunities tagged with this code show school districts and municipalities procuring broad grocery and fresh-produce categories—including breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, beverages, and meats—under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with no documented solicitations specifically targeting frozen non-GMO red gold nectarines as a distinct line item. The issuing bodies are school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). The mismatch suggests that the code's nominal scope and current procurement practice diverge significantly; frozen stone fruits appear only incidentally, if at all, in the line-item specifications documented across these solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with the largest volumes in Georgia school districts. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issuing an IFB for over 1,100 line-item grocery items with a due date of June 30, 2026, supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education; the Hancock County Board of Education issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 deadline and delivery to three school sites; and the Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with an estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million combined. All contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP plans, 24/7 food recall accessibility, firm fixed pricing, prepaid freight delivery to school sites, and Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms. Given the absence of solicitation activity specifically targeting the frozen non-GMO red gold nectarine commodity, this code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes.
