UNSPSC 50544951: Frozen non GMO summer diamond nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO summer 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 50544951 Frozen non GMO summer diamond nectarines, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product specification within school food service procurement. State and local governments do not currently buy frozen non-GMO summer diamond nectarines in any volume reflected in recent solicitations; the code name describes a specialty produce item that does not appear in the actual work being solicited under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code instead cover broad fresh produce categories and comprehensive grocery procurement spanning fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, grains, frozen items, and non-food supplies for school nutrition programs and district food service operations. Issuing bodies include school districts and county boards of education across multiple states, with one state-level Georgia procurement also tagged to this code. The procurement mix reflects school meal program compliance requirements including Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed products), USDA nutrition standards, HACCP food safety protocols, and whole-grain and low-sodium product specifications.

Recent activity centers in Georgia and surrounding states, with eight opportunities posted between January and June 2026 from Douglas County School System (RFP for main-line food distribution and produce-and-eggs cooperative sourcing); Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (fresh produce annual contract); Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce for 2026-27); City Schools of Decatur (frozen foods and grocery items, IFB, due May 15, 2026); and Early County Board of Education (line-by-line food bids). Missouri-based Rockwood R-VI School District (over 900 grocery line items for 2026-27, due April 29, 2026, electronic submission via NUTRIKIDS), Connecticut's City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases for the Board of Education (over 1,100 grocery line items, due June 30, 2026), and State of Georgia (broader food, supplies, and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026) also posted under this code. The mismatch between the code's specialty-item name and the broad-based meal-service procurement it carries suggests administrative tagging error rather than genuine market activity for frozen non-GMO summer diamond nectarines specifically.
