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 Bonel Beets is a Commodity code that captures frozen vegetable products, particularly non-GMO specialty varieties, purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service operations. The actual buying activity under this code reflects broader food-service procurement by counties, school districts, and state agencies seeking shelf-stable and frozen food items to support cafeterias, senior programs, and nutrition assistance initiatives. Issuing bodies include county purchasing divisions (such as Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (Georgia Department of State Services), and school district food-service programs (Early County Board of Education). These entities typically solicit frozen vegetables as line items within larger food-procurement RFQs and bids that encompass dozens or hundreds of food products ranging from proteins and grains to produce and condiments.

Recent activity centers in Georgia, where Gwinnett County posted an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of food items including canned vegetables due October 19, 2026, the State of Georgia solicited bids on food and kitchen products due June 22, 2026, and Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line food bids for the National School Lunch Program due June 8, 2026. School district procurements emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with firm pricing for 15 days from award and price escalation considerations tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices. County and state solicitations typically award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and permit split awards by line item, with delivery windows generally 72 hours to one week and F.O.B. destination terms. Vendors must provide references, certify non-collusion, maintain compliance with E-Verify and Buy American provisions when applicable, and carry minimum general liability insurance; school-district contracts extend one year with renewal options.
