UNSPSC 50602100: Frozen Non GMO brussel sprouts

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO brussel sprouts that has 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 50602100 Frozen Non-GMO Brussels Sprouts is a Class code that does not align with the scope of the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The opportunities in the source material focus on broad food service procurement—general frozen foods, fresh produce, grocery items, eggs, and multi-category food supplies for school nutrition programs and state operations—rather than on a single commodity such as frozen Brussels sprouts. Recent solicitations do not isolate or specify frozen Brussels sprouts as a line item or procurement focus, making it difficult to characterize the actual buying activity under this code based on the available opportunities.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span school districts (Douglas County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI, Dallas ISD), state departments (State of Georgia), and buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Missouri, with a solicitation from Dallas Independent School District in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026), estimated at approximately nine million dollars annually and serving approximately 25,500 students across 32 schools; the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300 food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026), estimated at approximately $5.5 million annually across 30 school districts in two geographic areas. The code shows little relevant recent activity and warrants verification of the UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities under this designation.
