UNSPSC 50545323: Frozen non GMO fire prince peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO fire prince 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 50545323 Frozen non-GMO Fire Prince peaches, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The solicitations posted under this code span broad grocery and food service procurement for school districts, counties, and municipalities—encompassing frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, snacks, beverages, condiments, and paper supplies across hundreds of line items per contract. However, none of the recent opportunities specifically reference frozen Fire Prince peaches or any narrowly scoped frozen-fruit procurement matching the code's nominal description. The issuing bodies include school nutrition programs (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state agencies (State of Georgia), and municipal purchasing departments. These jurisdictions solicit annually under cooperative purchasing vehicles, with awards commonly made to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.

Recent activity centers on Georgia and Connecticut school districts and the State of Georgia, with one Missouri district represented. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for 200+ fresh-produce line items across multiple apple and vegetable varieties (due June 26, 2026), the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (due March 4, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District's procurement for over 900 grocery line items with bids due April 29, 2026. All contracts require Buy American compliance (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP certification, firm fixed pricing including packing and delivery, and $1,000,000 general liability insurance. Payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days. The code's narrowly defined commodity scope shows minimal alignment with the broad, multi-category food service procurement activity actually occurring under it.
