UNSPSC 50601911: Frozen Non GMO d'egypte beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO d'egypte 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 50601911 Frozen Non-GMO d'Egypte beets is a Commodity code that captures frozen vegetable procurement by state and local governments, though the recent opportunities record shows that issuing bodies are sourcing frozen beets as part of much broader food-supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. State and local buyers under this code include county departments of community services and senior services, state food-service procurement offices, and school districts operating national school lunch and breakfast programs. The actual buying reflects institutional food service: county senior centers purchasing shelf-stable and frozen vegetables alongside proteins, grains, and canned goods for meal programs; school districts procuring frozen produce as one component of comprehensive food-service bids covering 300+ food items plus paper and cleaning supplies for multiple school locations; and state-level food-supply aggregation for distribution across multiple agencies. Solicitation structures vary from informal written quotes for specific county purchases to formal line-by-line competitive bids with multi-year contract terms and renewal options.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for the Department of Community Services with a response due October 19, 2026, covering 35 line items of shelf-stable products with delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line bid for FY27 food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026 and a contract period running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. The State of Georgia also posted a food and supplies bid in May 2026 with a June 22 response date. Contracts typically require F.O.B. destination delivery within narrow time windows, compliance with Buy American and E-Verify provisions, food-safety documentation such as HACCP plans and recall procedures, and general liability insurance of $500,000 or more for larger awards.
