UNSPSC 50602004: Frozen Non GMO chinese broccoli

The variety of Non GMO broccoli known as Non GMO chinese broccoli 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 50602004 Frozen Non GMO Chinese Broccoli is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure frozen specialty vegetables, primarily for institutional food service — school districts, county nutrition programs, and state procurement offices. The recent solicitations show this code is being used for bulk purchases of frozen vegetables as part of broader food-supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys. Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen food items for senior nutrition services included frozen vegetables among 35 line items; Early County Board of Education's June 2026 food-service bid encompassed 300+ food items including vegetables for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. These purchasing patterns reflect institutional kitchen demand — high-volume, standardized specifications, firm pricing, and scheduled delivery to fixed service locations.

Activity under the code concentrates in Georgia, where Gwinnett County (a large metro county), Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia itself have posted recent opportunities.
