UNSPSC 50601914: Frozen Non GMO egyptian flat beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO egyptian flat 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 50601914 Frozen Non GMO egyptian flat beets, a Commodity code, captures shelf-stable and specialty produce items that state and local governments procure for food service operations, including school lunch programs, county senior services, and institutional food supply chains. Recent solicitations under this code reflect demand for individual produce line items as part of broader food-service procurement, where frozen vegetables compete alongside fresh and canned alternatives within comprehensive meal-planning and nutritional-requirement frameworks. The issuing bodies represent a mix of county governments, state agencies, and school districts—specifically Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education in the most recent activity.

Georgia dominates recent activity under this code. Gwinnett County posted an IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for the Department of Community Services in October 2026, with response due October 19, 2026, encompassing 35 line items of shelf-stable products including canned vegetables and requiring delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products IFB due June 22, 2026, with scope detailed in an attached solicitation document. Early County Board of Education posted an FY27 food bid due June 8, 2026, soliciting line-by-line bids for 300+ food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; the contract period runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options and requires compliance with Buy American provisions and E-Verify verification.
