UNSPSC 50601912: Frozen Non GMO detroit 2 dark red beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO detroit 2 dark red 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 50601912 Frozen Non GMO detroit 2 dark red beets is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local solicitation activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under or near this code — Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal quotes for shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables), the State of Georgia's May 2026 food and kitchen products bid, and Early County Board of Education's May 2026 National School Lunch Program food and non-food products bid — all involve general food purchasing, not frozen specialty produce. The Gwinnett County request specified 1,062 cases across 35 line items of packaged shelf-stable goods; the Early County schools bid covered 300+ food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments. None of the solicitations name frozen beets or frozen specialty produce as a line item or specification requirement. The code's nominal scope does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy entry.

The recent activity that is present spans Georgia state purchasing, county governments, and independent school districts across the state. Gwinnett County issues food procurement regularly (the October 2026 quote request was a small informal solicitation with a 6-day turnaround to October 19, 2026); the State of Georgia posted a broader food and kitchen products bid in May 2026 with a June 22, 2026 due date; and Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 bid closing shows school district participation. Because the posted opportunities do not actually solicit frozen beets or closely related frozen specialty produce, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors in that category.
