UNSPSC 50544948: Frozen non GMO spring red nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO spring red 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 50544948 Frozen non-GMO spring red nectarines is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source records nine recent school district and municipal food service solicitations, none of which specifically reference frozen red nectarines or frozen stone fruit. The opportunities solicited under this code tier span grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, and comprehensive food supply and distribution contracts for school nutrition programs, but no frozen nectarine-specific procurements appear in the recent record. School districts and food service operations do purchase frozen fruit as a component of larger grocery and frozen-food contracts, yet the UNSPSC code's narrow commodity definition does not match what is actually being transacted in the available state and local market.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food service contracts—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, primarily in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri—treat frozen fruit and produce as line items within larger, multi-thousand-line-item grocery or fresh-produce bundles rather than as standalone commodity purchases. Vendors responding to these contracts provide pricing across broad produce and frozen-food assortments on an IFB or RFP basis, with response deadlines between late February and late June 2026. A business pursuing the frozen-nectarine code specifically would find no direct demand signal in the recent state and local procurement record.
