UNSPSC 50545325: Frozen non GMO flat type peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO flat type 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 50545325 Frozen non-GMO flat type peaches is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen peach products supplied to school nutrition programs and other child nutrition services across multiple state and local jurisdictions. While the code's name specifies frozen peaches, state and local procurement activity under this classification reflects broader frozen-produce purchasing within school lunch and breakfast programs that support the National School Lunch Program and Child Nutrition Services. School districts issuing solicitations under this code source frozen fruits and vegetables as components of comprehensive food-service contracts that also include fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and condiments. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education, ranging from individual districts serving fewer than 20,000 students to cooperative purchasing vehicles spanning 30 districts across multiple geographic regions.

Activity under the code concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with recent solicitations from Hancock County Board of Education (IFB due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education (bid due June 8, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (bid due April 23, 2026), Douglas County School System serving a 30-district cooperative (RFP due March 4, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (IFB due May 15, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (NUTRIKIDS electronic bid due April 29, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (electronic bid due June 30, 2026). Frozen produce items consistently appear as line items within larger food-service contracts that specify delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday, adherence to USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content), HACCP plans, and compliance with Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards. Contract periods typically run July 1 through June 30 of the following year, with firm pricing throughout and no fuel or freight surcharges permitted, and award frequently goes to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis at lowest responsive and responsible pricing.
