UNSPSC 50545368: Frozen non GMO sweet september peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO sweet september 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 50545368 Frozen non-GMO sweet September peaches (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity under this code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show no solicitations for frozen peaches or any peach products; instead, the records document broad school nutrition procurement across frozen and fresh produce, grocery staples, eggs, meats, dairy, and prepared entrees serving National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests this Commodity code may be incorrectly applied in state procurement systems or does not align with current school district purchasing patterns. School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with occasional participation from municipal education departments and state-level food service procurement. Georgia leads in recent activity, with five opportunities from Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System posted between February and June 2026; Connecticut and Missouri also show activity through the City of Bridgeport and Rockwood R-VI School District respectively.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the actual scope: Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for a main-line food service distributor supplying approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with estimated annual spend near $9 million; Douglas County also issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million for the respective areas. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services under IFB BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District issued a solicitation for over 900 grocery line items (due April 29, 2026) with approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast daily participants. All recent opportunities emphasize Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing with limited escalation windows, and delivery Monday through Friday to multiple school sites within specified temperature and quality standards.
