UNSPSC 50545326: Frozen non GMO flavorcrest peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO flavorcrest 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 50545326 Frozen non-GMO Flavorcrest peaches, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within school meal and institutional food procurement. State and local governments buy frozen peaches and comparable frozen fruit under this code primarily to support National School Lunch Program operations and senior nutrition services, where items are incorporated into meal preparation or distributed as standalone components. The issuing bodies pursuing this code are school districts and county departments of social services, with school food-service departments representing the dominant buyer category based on recent activity. Frozen fruit procurement is typically bundled into larger multi-item food bids rather than solicited as a standalone category, though frozen peaches may be listed as one line item among hundreds of grocery and produce line items in comprehensive food RFPs and IFBs.
