UNSPSC 50601907: Frozen Non GMO cheltenham green top beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO cheltenham green top 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 50601907 Frozen Non GMO Cheltenham Green Top Beets, a Commodity code, encompasses the supply of specialty frozen vegetables to state and local food service operations, though recent activity shows the code is tagged to broader food procurement that includes shelf-stable proteins, grains, canned goods, and fresh produce rather than frozen beets specifically. State and local governments soliciting under this code span county governments, state agencies, and school districts purchasing for senior services, institutional food programs, and national school lunch initiatives. The work involves supplying food items to meet operational demand across multiple food categories, with vendors expected to deliver products meeting USDA standards, food safety protocols including HACCP plans, and domestic sourcing preferences where applicable. Pricing is typically evaluated on a per-unit basis, and awards favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders; contracts often permit split awards by line item and allow piggybacking by other jurisdictions on identical terms.

Georgia accounts for the recent posting activity, with Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing an informal written quote request (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and canned vegetables due October 19, 2026, requiring delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with responses due June 22, 2026, and Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and 60 non-food products to support the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with bids due June 8, 2026 and the contract period running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. School districts emphasize whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; all delivery requires compliance with temperature controls, stock rotation, and documentation standards specific to commodity type.
