UNSPSC 50602500: Frozen Non GMO carrots

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO carrots 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 50602500 Frozen Non GMO carrots is a Class code that captures frozen vegetable procurement by state and local food-service buyers, though recent solicitations show the code is being used for broader food-supply contracting that includes shelf-stable proteins, grains, canned vegetables, and fresh produce rather than frozen carrots specifically. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts and county social-services departments procuring ingredients and finished food products to support cafeteria operations, senior nutrition programs, and food-assistance initiatives. Solicitations specify domestic sourcing preferences, USDA compliance, and low-sodium or additive-free formulations, with awards typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a per-unit-of-measure basis. Vendors must maintain food-safety certifications, carry liability insurance, comply with E-Verify and Buy American provisions, and demonstrate three or more references for similar projects.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables, proteins, rice, and pasta for the Department of Community Services, with delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026 and quotes due October 19, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a food-and-kitchen-products bid in May 2026 with a June 22, 2026 response date; scope and pricing details were contained in an attached solicitation document. Early County Board of Education released a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 covering 300+ food items (including fresh vegetables, meats, dairy, and grains) and 60+ non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026 and contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
