UNSPSC 50545355: Frozen non GMO snow gem peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO snow gem 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 50545355 Frozen non-GMO snow gem peaches is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty frozen peach products, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect the specific commodity. The code shows little relevant recent activity — the opportunities in the source are broad grocery and fresh produce solicitations that do not align with the narrow specialty frozen-peach scope the code name implies. State and local jurisdictions are acquiring frozen foods, fresh produce, and general grocery items for school nutrition programs across multiple categories and vendors, but no posted opportunities specifically solicit frozen non-GMO snow gem peaches or comparable specialty frozen fruit products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content suggests either miscoding of the opportunities or limited current procurement demand for this specific commodity.

The recent opportunities are concentrated among school districts and education boards in Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut seeking to supply National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program meals for the 2026-27 school year. Issuing bodies include the 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 serving a multi-district cooperative). Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's grocery items IFB due June 30, 2026, Hancock County's fresh produce IFB due June 26, 2026, and the Rockwood School District's grocery items bid due April 29, 2026 via NUTRIKIDS electronic submission.
