UNSPSC 50602003: Frozen Non GMO broccoli raab

The variety of Non GMO broccoli known as Non GMO broccoli raab 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 50602003 Frozen Non GMO broccoli raab is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh frozen specialty vegetables procured by state and local food-service and community-support operations. The code's nominal scope targets a specific product line — frozen non-GMO broccoli raab — but recent state and local solicitations tagged under it reflect broader food procurement activity, including shelf-stable proteins, grains, canned vegetables, and dairy products supplied to senior centers, school lunch programs, and public food-assistance operations. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). The work typically involves RFQ and sealed-bid processes with line-item or firm-fixed pricing, F.O.B. destination delivery, and compliance requirements including Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, liability insurance minimums, and debarment verification for awards above specified thresholds.
