UNSPSC 50544938: Frozen non GMO red roy nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO red roy 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 50544938 Frozen non-GMO red roy nectarines (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The nine most recent opportunities tagged to this code span school nutrition programs across Connecticut, Georgia, and Missouri, but they solicit comprehensive grocery and fresh produce portfolios—items such as apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, dairy, meats, condiments, and prepared entrees—rather than the specific frozen nectarine line item the code nominally describes. No recent solicitation names frozen red roy nectarines or any frozen stone fruit as a line item, and the code's specificity does not align with the broad, multi-category food service procurements that dominate the recent record.

The mismatch suggests either misclassification of opportunities at posting or a code tagged to child nutrition food service procurement more broadly without regard to granular commodity matching. School districts and boards of education (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Rockwood, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County) are the primary issuing bodies, with activity clustered in Georgia and secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri. If pursuing this specific commodity, verify directly with school nutrition directors or food service distributors whether frozen nectarines are specified in RFPs or standing agreements; the public record does not support active solicitation under this code at present.
