UNSPSC 50545321: Frozen non GMO encore peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO encore 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 50545321 Frozen non-GMO encore peaches, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within school nutrition procurement, but recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct solicitation for this specific item and instead reflect broad-based food service purchasing across frozen goods, fresh produce, and grocery staples. School districts, county boards of education, and municipal school systems are the primary issuing bodies soliciting food products under related UNSPSC classifications, and they purchase frozen and fresh produce as components of comprehensive meal-service contracts rather than as standalone line items. The work involves supplying USDA-compliant, nutrition-labeled products that meet whole-grain, low-sodium, and zero-trans-fat standards to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Deliveries are made Monday through Friday to central warehouses and individual school sites, with products subject to blind testing, HACCP plan requirements, food-recall accessibility, and Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items). Vendors must carry general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence and meet E-Verify, debarment certification, and state licensing requirements.

Recent procurement activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Missouri school districts, with additional solicitation from Connecticut and unspecified state-level purchasing. The Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 in February 2026 for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district GEC buying cooperative with estimated spending of approximately $5.5 million combined (due March 4, 2026), and RFP 26-003 for main-line food supply and distribution across 32 schools with annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026). The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items with over 900 line items and electronic submission required by April 29, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products with response due June 30, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued separate fresh-produce IFBs in June and April 2026 respectively. The code shows no concentrated activity by incumbent vendors or geographic region, and frozen encore peaches specifically are not named in any posted solicitation—the code appears to span a broader frozen-produce category that sees episodic rather than continuous procurement demand.
