UNSPSC 50601902: Frozen Non GMO albina vereduna beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO albina vereduna beets 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 50601902 Frozen Non GMO Albina Vereduna Beets, a Commodity code, does not align with the scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities dataset contains eight school district and state agency food-service solicitations spanning Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, but none specifically target frozen beets or frozen vegetables as a named line item or category. The opportunities focus on broad food-service procurement—fresh produce, dairy, grains, proteins, spices, ice cream, eggs, and general grocery items for child nutrition programs and state operations—rather than specialty frozen produce varieties. School districts and state agencies posting these opportunities are acquiring supplies to support National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and institutional meal service across dozens of schools, typically requiring delivery Monday through Friday during operating hours, HACCP compliance, Buy American adherence, and firm pricing structures with quarterly or semiannual adjustment provisions tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia (State of Georgia general food bid, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System cooperative procurement), with additional school district solicitations from Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri and Dallas Independent School District in Texas. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, posting RFPs and IFBs throughout the early calendar year to award contracts by June in advance of the July 1 school-year start. Representative opportunities include Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh-produce RFP (Bid 26-34, bids due April 23, 2026) spanning 72 produce items with estimated annual volumes reaching 21,125 cases for single items; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items; and Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. The code shows minimal relevance to current state and local procurement patterns, and business development professionals should prioritize broader commodity codes for fresh or frozen vegetables and specialty agricultural products instead.
