UNSPSC 50544943: Frozen non GMO ruby sweet nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO ruby sweet 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 50544943 Frozen non-GMO ruby sweet nectarines is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement systems but shows little relevant recent activity tied directly to this specific product. The nine most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span grocery and food service procurement for school nutrition programs and municipal purchasing, encompassing broad categories of frozen foods, fresh produce, and general grocery items—but none of the summaries identify nectarines (frozen or otherwise) as a line item or focus. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery goods for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services in an IFB closing June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requested over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year in an IFB closing June 26, 2026; and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri sought over 900 line items of grocery items in an electronic bid closing April 29, 2026. All of these procurements are subject to Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP plan compliance, food recall accessibility, and whole-grain and nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act and USDA regulations. None of the publicly available summaries reference frozen nectarines as a discrete bid line.

Issuing bodies pursuing grocery and produce procurement across this code tier are predominantly school districts and boards of education—including Bridgeport, Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County—along with one municipal department (City of Bridgeport) and one state agency (State of Georgia). Activity is concentrated in Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut, with responses due between January and June 2026. The code's nominal scope (frozen non-GMO ruby sweet nectarines) does not align with the breadth of actual procurement activity observed. If your firm supplies nectarines or specialty frozen fruit to school nutrition programs, monitor individual district RFPs and IFBs for line-item inclusion rather than relying on this Commodity code as a reliable market signal.
