UNSPSC 50545350: Frozen non GMO royal lady peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO royal lady 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 50545350 Frozen non-GMO royal lady peaches is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen fruit products for institutional food service. State and local governments procure this item primarily through school district nutrition programs and county social services departments supporting meal programs, though recent solicitations show that peaches specifically appear in broader food-supply RFQs and IFBs rather than as standalone line items. The scope of work under this code centers on compliance with federal nutrition standards, Buy American provisions requiring domestic agricultural content, and delivery into centralized or school-site warehouses on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges. Issuing bodies include school boards and county departments; the recent opportunities reflect substantial activity by Georgia school districts and county governments, with one Connecticut school district solicitation also visible.

Recent opportunities show school districts and counties in Georgia as the primary buyers. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning the 2026–27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026, which included fresh produce line items but did not isolate frozen peaches. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education, issued an IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (due June 30, 2026) that encompassed frozen products alongside fresh items, breakfast goods, and dairy under the National School Lunch Program. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300 food items without specification of frozen-peach quantities. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited shelf-stable and processed food items (due October 19, 2026) for senior services rather than school nutrition. The code shows activity concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut, though the recent opportunities do not isolate frozen peaches as a specific line-item commodity — procurement appears to bundle specialty frozen fruits within broader food-supply contracts managed through e-procurement platforms or sealed-bid IFBs with firm pricing and domestic-sourcing compliance requirements.
