UNSPSC 50601908: Frozen Non GMO cheltenham mono beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO cheltenham mono 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 50601908 Frozen Non GMO cheltenham mono beets is a Commodity code that nominally addresses specialty frozen vegetable products, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal alignment with this specific classification. The code does not appear in any of the seven recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 — instead, those solicitations encompass broad food service procurement by school districts, state agencies, and county systems for complete meal programs, fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, and food-service supplies. The mismatch suggests that while frozen beets may be purchased incidentally as part of larger food contracts, they are not solicited as a stand-alone line item or primary procurement focus under this code at the state and local level. Issuing bodies active in the broader food-service space include Georgia state agencies, Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, City Schools of Decatur), Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas.

The representative opportunities instead target comprehensive food-service categories: Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) covering 72 line items and approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spending across a 30-district cooperative; Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery-items bid (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items for child nutrition services; and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh-produce contract (posted March 22, 2026, due April 23, 2026) covering 72 produce items. Dallas Independent School District issued an RFP on February 22, 2026 (due April 2, 2026) for various food products including spice and ice cream lots. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri. The code shows no recent dedicated solicitations for frozen beets specifically and does not appear to be an active purchasing category for state and local government buyers in this market cycle.
