UNSPSC 50545311: Frozen non GMO crest haven peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO crest haven peaches 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 50545311 Frozen non-GMO Crest Haven peaches is a Commodity code that names a specific product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct alignment with that narrow specification. School districts and municipalities across the country are soliciting grocery and food-service items under broad UNSPSC food and produce families, and while frozen peaches appear as line items within those larger procurements, they are typically one component among hundreds of food products rather than standalone solicitations. The buying pattern reflects institutional food service for school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, and district-wide grocery provisioning, where frozen fruits including peaches compete alongside fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and prepared entrees within comprehensive annual food-service contracts. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and school boards across multiple states, supplemented by municipal purchasing departments and state nutrition authorities. The Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Early County Board of Education, and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases all posted significant food procurement notices in recent months, with school districts dominating the issuing-body mix.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and extends across Connecticut, Missouri, and other jurisdictions. The Douglas County School System issued two major RFPs in January and February 2026 for fresh produce and eggs and food supply and distribution spanning 30 school districts with annual estimated spending around $4.4 to $9 million; the City of Bridgeport posted Solicitation BNB052266 on June 30, 2026 (electronic due date June 30, 2026, 2:00 pm) for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program; Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB SN002-2027 with bids due June 26, 2026 for over 200 fresh produce line items; and City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB on April 16, 2026 (bids due May 15, 2026) for frozen foods and grocery items spanning ten school sites. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 on an annual renewal cycle, with firm pricing throughout the contract period and Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content on processed products. These procurements emphasize whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, HACCP food-safety plans, and delivery to multiple school sites within standard operating windows, with payment terms typically Net 30 to Net 45 days from delivery and inspection.
