UNSPSC 50601601: Frozen Non GMO connover's colossal asparagus

The variety of Non GMO asparagus known as Non GMO connover's colossal asparagus 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 50601601 Frozen Non GMO Connover's Colossal Asparagus is a Commodity code that frames a narrow product line, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little or no recent relevant solicitation. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code—Gwinnett County's general food purchase (shelf-stable items including canned vegetables but no frozen asparagus), Georgia's broad food and kitchen products bid, and Early County Schools' National School Lunch Program food bid—do not specify frozen asparagus or align with the code's nominal scope. State and local buyers posting food-service solicitations use broader family or class codes to capture multiple produce and protein lines in a single RFQ or IFB rather than narrow commodity-level tags for a single frozen-vegetable product.

This code presents minimal current opportunity for vendors focused on frozen asparagus sales to state and local agencies. The issuing bodies recently posting under this code—a county government (Gwinnett County), a state agency (State of Georgia), and a school district (Early County Board of Education)—are actively procuring food items, but their posted scope does not isolate frozen asparagus as a line item or distinct contract driver. Vendors should monitor broader food and produce UNSPSC categories where school districts, county social services, and state agencies consolidate food-service purchasing, or pursue these opportunities through their existing distributor relationships rather than expect dedicated frozen-asparagus solicitations at the commodity level.
