UNSPSC 50545316: Frozen non GMO earlirich peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO earlirich 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 50545316 Frozen non-GMO Earlirich peaches, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct recent activity in state and local procurement, though the broader fresh and frozen produce category in which it sits remains active across school nutrition programs. State and local governments buy fresh produce—apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root crops, citrus, and specialty items—and frozen products as components of multi-category grocery and produce solicitations issued by school districts to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education, with occasional participation by city purchasing departments and state agencies; recent solicitations come from the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia. Vendors competing for these contracts must meet stringent compliance requirements including Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products where applicable), HACCP plans, food-recall procedures, E-Verify authorization, federal debarment certification, and liability insurance typically ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000.

Recent solicitations cluster in Georgia, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued BNB052266 on June 30, 2026 (response deadline June 30, 2026) for over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products, with firm fixed pricing and no fuel surcharges, delivery to central warehouse and school sites Monday through Friday, and compliance with Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ fresh produce line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty produce with delivery to three school locations and firm fixed pricing for the July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term. Douglas County School System in Georgia's GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) procured fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively, requiring unit pricing based on documented net cost plus fixed fee with prices capped at USDA Atlanta Terminal Wholesale Market Report levels. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with optional renewal periods, and all require pricing firm throughout the term with escalation only upon verified market documentation.
