UNSPSC 50545338: Frozen non GMO loring peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO loring 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 50545338 Frozen non-GMO Loring peaches (Commodity) is rarely solicited under its specific code designation in recent state and local procurement, though the broader frozen fruit and produce procurement activity that encompasses peaches appears frequently in school nutrition and institutional food service RFPs across the Southeast. State and local food service programs buy frozen peaches as a component of larger grocery or fresh produce contracts rather than as standalone line items. The solicitations tagged with this code show school districts and municipal purchasing offices acquiring comprehensive food baskets—breakfast items, produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared goods—that include frozen fruit as one element among hundreds of line items. The actual buying pattern reflects institutional nutrition programs serving K-12 students under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, which bundle frozen peaches into multi-category procurement streams alongside fresh produce, proteins, grains, and prepared entrees. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Decatur City Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), state agriculture and food agencies (State of Georgia), and municipal purchasing departments supporting child nutrition services.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with responses due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) solicited over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education with a due date of June 30, 2026, requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content under Buy American provisions. The Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) requested bids on over 900 grocery items with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026 through the NUTRIKIDS system. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two and a proposal deadline of March 4, 2026. Most school nutrition contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, require firm fixed pricing with limited escalation provisions tied to USDA or market indices, mandate HACCP plans and food safety recall procedures, and include Buy American or domestic sourcing preferences. Frozen peaches, when specified, are typically one line item among hundreds in comprehensive food baskets rather than standalone procurement.
