UNSPSC 50545318: Frozen non GMO early treat peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO early treat 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 50545318 Frozen non-GMO early treat peaches is a Commodity code that covers frozen peach products for state and local food service procurement, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows limited direct matches to the narrow commodity scope. State and local governments are currently sourcing frozen and fresh produce through school districts, county departments of community services, and education boards for child nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service. The work being solicited includes line-item bids for produce and food products that meet USDA nutrition standards, Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable), and delivery specifications to designated school sites and community service centers. Issuing bodies span school district nutrition services departments (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County), and state departments (State of Georgia). Vendors must typically provide HACCP plans, complete ingredient and nutritional documentation, food recall procedures, general liability insurance, and compliance with debarment, suspension, and E-Verify verification requirements.

Recent activity shows concentrated procurement in Georgia and Connecticut, with Hancock County Board of Education posting an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, specialty items) with bids due June 26, 2026; Early County Board of Education seeking line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items plus non-food supplies with bids due June 8, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posting an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta) with quotes due October 19, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking bids on over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education with electronic submissions due June 30, 2026. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 of the following year, with firm fixed pricing including packing and transportation, no separate fuel surcharges, and delivery requirements of 48 hours to five business days. The State of Georgia also posted a broad food and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026, though full scope details are in an attached document.
