UNSPSC 50545344: Frozen non GMO redhaven peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO redhaven 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 50545344 Frozen non-GMO Redhaven peaches, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's highly specific product designation — a single variety of frozen stone fruit with non-GMO certification — diverges sharply from the actual purchasing patterns reflected in the source opportunities, which focus on broad-based school nutrition procurement spanning hundreds of line items across frozen foods, fresh produce, grocery items, and processed products as part of annual or multi-year food service contracts. State and local school districts are soliciting comprehensive food packages under codes that capture wider frozen and fresh categories rather than individual fruit SKUs. The opportunities show no bid line items tagged to frozen Redhaven peaches specifically, either as a standalone commodity or embedded in larger frozen-produce bundles.

Recent school nutrition procurement activity is concentrated among Georgia school districts, Missouri school districts, and Connecticut municipalities, with solicitations from the Douglas County School System (two RFPs in early 2026 for food supply and fresh produce across 30 cooperative districts), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, Decatur City Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases in Connecticut. Opportunities posted between January and June 2026 show school districts and municipalities using RFP, RFQ, and IFB mechanisms to award multi-year food service contracts with firm pricing, HACCP compliance, and Buy American provisions. No active opportunity in the source material references frozen Redhaven peaches as a line item or specifies this Commodity code. Vendors seeking to compete in this code should confirm whether state and local procurement offices have assigned it to specific school district RFP cycles or frozen-produce line items in 2026–2027 contracts, as the current data suggests minimal or no matching activity.
