UNSPSC 50545357: Frozen non GMO spring lady peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO spring 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 50545357 Frozen non-GMO spring lady peaches is a Commodity code that describes a single fresh or frozen produce item, but state and local governments do not procure peaches specifically under this code in the recent record. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span broad grocery and food-service procurement across school districts, municipalities, and counties, encompassing hundreds of line items including fresh and frozen produce, dairy, meats, grains, and pantry staples for child nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia)—along with the State of Georgia and the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia). Most solicitations are IFBs or RFPs with firm pricing for 12-month terms, requiring compliance with USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP food-safety plans, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards including whole-grain requirements, low sodium, and zero trans fats. All deliveries are made to school sites Monday through Friday, typically 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with no separate fuel surcharges permitted and payment within 30 to 90 days of receipt and inspection.

The geographic concentration is in Georgia, with five of nine recent opportunities originating from Georgia school districts and state procurement, one in Connecticut, and one in Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (June 30, 2026 due date) supporting the National School Lunch Program with blind testing and $1,000,000 liability insurance required; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items spanning apples, berries, root vegetables, and specialty produce (June 26, 2026 due date) with delivery to three school sites and firm pricing throughout the July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 contract term; the Douglas County School System RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas (March 4, 2026 due date, estimated $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two) with unit pricing based on USDA terminal market and Urner Barry reporting; and the Rockwood R-VI School District procurement of over 900 grocery line items (April 29, 2026 due date) with electronic submission through the NUTRIKIDS system. The code shows active procurement activity but predominantly for mixed grocery and produce baskets rather than frozen peaches as a standalone product line.
