UNSPSC 50545352: Frozen non GMO september sun peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO september sun 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 50545352 Frozen non-GMO September Sun peaches (Commodity) covers procurement of frozen stone fruit products for school meal programs and institutional food service, as evidenced by recent school district solicitations that bundle frozen peaches with broader grocery and frozen-food categories. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts and school nutrition authorities—including the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—which source frozen and fresh produce as components of comprehensive food-service contracts supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Frozen peaches appear as line items within larger procurements of frozen foods, fruits, and grocery items rather than as standalone commodity purchases. Vendor requirements typically include HACCP plans, 24/7 food-recall accessibility, Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), USDA nutrition standards (whole grain, low sodium, zero trans fat), proper labeling with nutrition fact panels, and compliance with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act. Deliveries are made to central warehouses or directly to school sites Monday through Friday, with prices firm for the contract period and all packing and transportation included; no separate fuel surcharges are permitted.
