UNSPSC 50601905: Frozen Non GMO bonel beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO bonel 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 50601905 Frozen Non GMO Boneless Beets, a Commodity code, nominally covers specialty frozen vegetable products but shows minimal direct activity under this specific code in recent state and local solicitations. State and local governments procuring frozen vegetables typically source them as line items within broader food-service aggregations rather than as standalone commodity purchases. School districts and state agencies in the recent opportunity set are soliciting frozen foods and produce through comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, and food-service distributor contracts that encompass vegetables across multiple categories—fresh, frozen, and processed—rather than bidding frozen beets as an isolated product line. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state education agencies, with some state government kitchen operations; these jurisdictions typically consolidate vegetable procurement across frozen, fresh, and canned formats to maximize vendor competition and simplify delivery logistics.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Georgia and Missouri school districts. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFPs for both fresh produce and eggs (estimated $5.5 million across 30 districts on the GEC Buying Cooperative) and food supply and distribution services (approximately $9 million annually); Early County Board of Education (Georgia) bid line-by-line food items including vegetables for July 2026 through June 2027 with questions due May 29, 2026; City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026; and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited grocery items including vegetables and fruits with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026. Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) bid fresh produce encompassing 72 items with bids due April 23, 2026. Dallas Independent School District (Texas) issued an RFP for various food products including spice and ice cream lots due April 2, 2026. The State of Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce due May 27, 2026, and a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. Frozen Non GMO boneless beets do not appear as a named item in any recent solicitation summary; vendors should verify whether frozen vegetable specifications in school nutrition and state kitchen procurement documents include this product as an eligible option within broader frozen-vegetable or commodity-produce categories.
