UNSPSC 50602300: Frozen Non GMO cabbages

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO cabbages 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 50602300 Frozen Non GMO cabbages is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable and refrigerated food products for institutional use, though recent solicitations under this code span a broader range of food items than frozen cruciferous vegetables alone. Gwinnett County, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia have all posted opportunities within the past six months seeking food products for community services, school meal programs, and government operations. The actual buying encompasses shelf-stable staples (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups), fresh and frozen vegetables, dairy products including fluid milk with temperature-controlled delivery requirements, USDA-compliant bread products, and non-food kitchen and janitorial supplies. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, school districts operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, and state-level procurement offices. School districts and county human services departments appear as repeat buyers, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, nutritional specifications (whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, products without added sugars or artificial additives), HACCP certification, and Buy American compliance where the contract exceeds applicable thresholds.
