UNSPSC 50602101: Frozen Non GMO citadel brussel sprouts

The variety of Non GMO brussel sprouts known as Non GMO citadel brussel sprouts 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 50602101 Frozen Non GMO citadel brussel sprouts is a Commodity code. The code shows little relevant recent activity — state and local opportunities tagged to this code reflect procurement of broad-based frozen foods and grocery items for school nutrition programs and state agency food service rather than procurement specifically targeting frozen brussels sprouts or items in that category. Recent solicitations frame the work as line-item fresh produce supply, frozen food and grocery procurement for school meal programs, and comprehensive food service distribution to multiple school sites, indicating a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought.

The issuing bodies soliciting under related food-service codes include school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District) and state agencies (State of Georgia for general food supplies and fresh produce). Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid IFB (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) emphasizing whole grain, low-sodium, and zero-transfarti formulations for ten school sites; and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) serving 30 districts across two Georgia geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. The code itself does not report sufficient procurement volume or specificity to support a decision on whether to pursue opportunities under its nominal scope.
