UNSPSC 50544940: Frozen non GMO rose diamond nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO rose 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 50544940 Frozen non-GMO rose diamond nectarines is a Commodity code, but the recent solicitations tagged with this code show little relevant activity — the opportunities posted under it involve broad grocery and fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, not the specific frozen nectarine product the code nominally describes. State and local agencies soliciting under this code are primarily school districts procuring comprehensive food service inventories that span produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared items to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. The issuing bodies are school districts and county boards of education in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri, along with one state-level procurement by the State of Georgia. Work solicited includes fresh and frozen grocery items, produce staples, proteins, dairy, snacks, and condiments to be delivered to central warehouses and individual school sites, with all vendors required to comply with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP food safety plans, 24/7 food recall accessibility, E-Verify authorization, and minimum liability insurance coverage ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000. Pricing must remain firm for the contract period with no separate fuel or freight surcharges permitted, and delivery windows are typically Monday through Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with multiple school districts (Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur) and a multi-district cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts) issuing solicitations between February and June 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri represent activity outside Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items and delivery to three school sites; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce bid covering 72 items and delivery to 60 sites (due April 23, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively (due March 4, 2026). The code's nominal specificity to a single frozen-nectarine product does not align with actual state and local procurement activity under it.
