UNSPSC 50602002: Frozen Non GMO broccoli romanesco

The variety of Non GMO broccoli known as Non GMO broccoli romanesco 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 50602002 Frozen Non GMO broccoli romanesco, a Commodity code, covers frozen broccoli romanesco procured by state and local jurisdictions for food service and nutrition programs. State and local governments actually buy frozen broccoli romanesco as part of broader food supply contracts for schools, senior services, and other public nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show the code embedded within larger food procurement initiatives rather than as a standalone item, reflecting how state and local purchasing typically bundles fresh and frozen produce with proteins, dairy, grains, and non-food items. Issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), with school districts appearing most active in solicitations that explicitly call out frozen vegetable specifications as part of National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contracting.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, where Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, with delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Georgia issued a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and Early County Board of Education posted line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and 60 non-food products supporting school lunch and breakfast programs, due June 8, 2026, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Early County's solicitation emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with awarded vendors required to comply with Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP plans, carry $500,000 general liability insurance, and allow piggybacking by other school districts on identical terms.
