UNSPSC 50602303: Frozen Non GMO skunk cabbages

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO skunk cabbage 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 50602303 Frozen Non GMO skunk cabbages, a Commodity-tier code, shows no recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning school district nutrition programs, state food procurement, and specialty grocery items across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas from January through June 2026—describe mainstream frozen foods, fresh produce, eggs, and general grocery staples for child nutrition services, not frozen skunk cabbages or specialty foraged items. The issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District), county or regional school systems (Douglas County School System), and state agencies (State of Georgia). The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual work being bought suggests either a cataloging error in the state or local procurement system or that frozen skunk cabbages are not a meaningful procurement category in state and local government contracting at present.

The geographic concentration of recent activity is heavily weighted to Georgia (State of Georgia fresh produce IFB, City Schools of Decatur frozen foods and grocery IFB with due date May 15, 2026, Early County Board of Education food bid with due date June 8, 2026, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce bid with due date April 23, 2026, and Douglas County School System food supply and fresh produce RFPs with due dates February 18 and March 4, 2026), with secondary activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items RFP, due April 29, 2026) and Texas (Dallas Independent School District various food products RFP, due April 2, 2026). Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services seeking a main-line distributor for approximately 32,000 meals daily with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million and contract start April 27, 2026, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce bid covering 72 line items across 60 school sites with sealed bids due April 23, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. ET through the Bonfire e-procurement portal.
