UNSPSC 50601913: Frozen Non GMO detroit 2 little ball beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO detroit 2 little ball 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 50601913 Frozen Non GMO detroit 2 little ball beets (Commodity) nominally addresses a single produce item, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reveal that purchasing offices are using it as a catch-all for food procurement spanning shelf-stable pantry staples, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and the Early County Board of Education are both sourcing across broad food categories — canned proteins, rice, pasta, vegetables, meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, and grains — rather than frozen beets specifically. The code appears to be applied loosely to food-service purchasing across multiple product lines within a single requisition or vendor contract, likely because procurement offices consolidate food buying under a single UNSPSC entry for administrative efficiency rather than splitting line items across dozens of commodity codes. Issuing bodies include county purchasing divisions, state departments, and school district food service programs, with school districts appearing as repeat buyers managing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program sourcing.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an IWQ (informal written quote) on October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with delivery to Lawrenceville by December 7, 2026; the State of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid in May 2026 with a June 22 response deadline; and the Early County Board of Education released a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, covering 300+ food items plus non-food supplies with a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Early County emphasized domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with firm pricing guaranteed for 15 days and escalation review thereafter on a six-month basis. The school district and county opportunities require vendor references, debarment verification where applicable, general liability insurance, E-Verify compliance, and food safety documentation including HACCP plans and recall procedures.
