UNSPSC 50545313: Frozen non GMO crown princess peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO crown princess 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 50545313 Frozen non-GMO crown princess peaches (Commodity) covers specialty frozen fruit products procured primarily by school districts through national school nutrition programs, though the recent opportunity record shows minimal activity specifically tied to this commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code primarily source frozen peaches as components of broader grocery or produce contracts that serve child nutrition and school breakfast programs under USDA funding and Buy American requirements. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—county and municipal board of education systems—which aggregate frozen fruit procurement across breakfast items, entrees, side dishes, and snack components within larger food-service contracts spanning hundreds of line items.

Recent activity in the code is sparse and geographically concentrated in Georgia and Missouri. The most directly relevant recent opportunity is the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh and processed produce (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026), which encompasses multiple frozen and fresh fruit categories alongside fresh produce staples. Other recent Georgia solicitations—Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026, serving 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for fresh produce (posted March 22, 2026, due April 23, 2026), and City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (posted April 16, 2026, due May 15, 2026)—include frozen fruit categories but do not isolate frozen peaches as a standalone line item. Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services issued a grocery items bid (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items. Frozen specialty fruits like crown princess peaches appear as minor components within these broad-scope contracts rather than as standalone procurement drivers, suggesting limited standalone demand at state and local level for this specific commodity.
