UNSPSC 50602106: Frozen Non GMO rubine brussel sprouts

The variety of Non GMO brussel sprouts known as Non GMO rubine 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 50602106 Frozen Non-GMO Rubine Brussels Sprouts is a Commodity code that describes a single frozen produce line item, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little concrete buying activity tied specifically to this product. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations requesting frozen non-GMO rubine brussels sprouts by name or specification. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food service procurement—fresh produce, frozen foods and groceries, and food supply and distribution—where brussels sprouts of any kind would represent one line among dozens or hundreds of items in a comprehensive school nutrition or institutional foodservice bid. State and local governments do purchase frozen vegetables as part of routine child nutrition and institutional meal programs, but the narrow commodity definition of this code does not map cleanly to the way jurisdictions actually solicit and award food contracts. School districts, county boards of education, and state agencies typically issue RFPs or IFBs for comprehensive produce or grocery categories, not individual frozen vegetable SKUs, making activity under this specific code difficult to isolate from broader food procurement activity.

The recent opportunities show repeated buying from Georgia school districts (Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education), the State of Georgia, and the Dallas Independent School District in Texas, with contract periods running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 or similar school-year cycles. The Douglas County RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) covers 30 districts across Georgia with an estimated $4.4 million to $1.1 million in annual spending by geographic area; the Dallas ISD RFP (due April 2, 2026) seeks multiple food product suppliers for a district-wide arrangement; and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (due April 29, 2026) solicited over 900 line items of grocery goods. None of these solicitations identify frozen non-GMO rubine brussels sprouts as a line item or specify this commodity as a procurement focus. The code's nominal scope and actual recent buying activity are misaligned, suggesting that vendors targeting this specific frozen produce item should monitor broader school nutrition and institutional food RFPs rather than activity tagged to this narrow commodity code.
