UNSPSC 50545343: Frozen non GMO redglobe peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO redglobe 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 50545343 Frozen non-GMO red globe peaches, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local contracting activity posted under this code. The nine most recent opportunities in the source span grocery and food-service procurement for public school systems and municipal entities, but none explicitly solicit frozen peaches or other frozen specialty produce items. The opportunities instead target broad food-service categories: breakfast and lunch support items (Bridgeport, Connecticut); fresh produce across multiple varieties (Hancock County, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia; Douglas County, Georgia buying cooperative); general grocery and kitchen products (Georgia state-level; Early County Schools, Georgia; Decatur, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri); and integrated food-supply and distribution (Douglas County, Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, including individual school districts (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Decatur, Early County, Rockwood R-VI), county-wide systems (Douglas County), and one municipal buyer (City of Bridgeport). These jurisdictions solicit under cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative for Douglas County) and through direct district procurement channels.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut. Issuing bodies in the sample procure fresh produce and broad grocery items but show no documented demand for frozen specialty peaches under this code. Representative solicitations include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (response due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of apples, berries, and vegetables), the Douglas County School System's RFP through GEC for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts (responses due March 4, 2026, approximately $5.5 million annual spend across two geographic areas), and Rockwood R-VI School District's bid for grocery items with over 900 line items (response due April 29, 2026). The code appears inactive for frozen peach procurement in the state and local market during this period; vendors targeting school nutrition and municipal food-service spend should address fresh and frozen commodity categories broadly but may find limited traction pursuing this specific frozen product alone.
