UNSPSC 50545327: Frozen non GMO florida prince peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO florida 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 50545327 Frozen non-GMO Florida Prince peaches is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty frozen fruit products for school nutrition programs and institutional food service, though recent solicitations show little direct activity tagged specifically to this code. State and local governments issuing under this code are primarily school districts and school boards procuring food for child nutrition services, including breakfast and lunch programs subject to USDA compliance and National School Lunch Program requirements. The work involves supplying frozen or fresh produce meeting Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP certification, and Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items. Vendors must maintain cold-chain logistics, provide product testing and certification of nutritional compliance, carry general liability insurance (typically $1 million per occurrence minimum), and accept delivery schedules tied to school operational hours and central warehouse or individual site distribution.

Recent opportunities in Georgia and Connecticut school districts from February through June 2026—including Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education's food and non-food procurement (due June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce contract (due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System's GEC Buying Cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 districts (due March 4, 2026)—represent the primary market activity. However, none of these solicitations explicitly reference frozen non-GMO Florida Prince peaches as a line item; the code appears to be a granular classification that rolls up into broader produce and grocery categories. Bidding activity concentrates in Georgia school districts and regional cooperatives, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri. The most recent and highest-spend opportunity is the Douglas County GEC cooperative RFP, estimated at $5.5 million across two geographic regions and 30 participating districts, with firm fixed pricing tied to USDA Atlanta Terminal Wholesale Market prices and automatic renewal through five years.
