UNSPSC 50544957: Frozen non GMO zeegrand nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO zeegrand 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 50544957, Frozen non-GMO zeegrand nectarines, is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity actually being solicited. The recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations for frozen zeegrand nectarines or comparable frozen specialty produce items. Instead, recent state and local contracts in the produce and grocery space are soliciting broadly across fresh produce varieties (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus), frozen and ambient grocery items (grains, cereals, baked goods, condiments, dairy, meats), and pre-packaged fresh items such as fruit cups and pre-cut vegetables—none of which target frozen non-GMO zeegrand nectarines specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought suggests this code sees little or no relevant procurement activity in the state and local market at present.

School districts and county boards of education account for the bulk of recent state and local solicitations in produce and grocery categories across Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) have all issued RFPs, RFQs, or IFBs for fresh produce, frozen foods, and grocery items between February and June 2026. The Douglas County School System has been particularly active, issuing separate requests for fresh produce and eggs (estimated $5.5 million across 30 districts) and food supply and distribution services (estimated $9 million for 32 schools). All contracts emphasize Buy American compliance with 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP plans, firm pricing, Net 30–45 day payment terms, and delivery Monday through Friday to designated school sites or central warehouses.
