UNSPSC 50602505: Frozen Non GMO nantes carrots

The variety of Non GMO carrots known as Non GMO nantes carrots 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 50602505 Frozen Non-GMO nantes carrots (Commodity) covers shelf-stable and refrigerated produce items that state and local procurement offices buy for food service operations, senior services, and institutional feeding programs. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments purchase frozen vegetables and fresh produce as components of larger food-supply contracts, typically bundled with proteins, grains, dairy, and condiments rather than as standalone line items. The Commodity code sits within a broader food-procurement ecosystem where issuing bodies include county purchasing offices, state agencies, and school districts — all of which source frozen and fresh produce as part of unified food-service agreements.

Georgia dominates recent activity in this code. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ (informal written quote) on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of food items including shelf-stable canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026 — notably, the solicitation emphasizes "approved equivalent" products where specific brands are listed, suggesting some flexibility on exact cultivars. The State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009) on May 15, 2026, with a June 22, 2026 response deadline; the full scope was attached but not detailed in the summary. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line food bids (PE55045NONST2027000000006) posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, naming approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, low-sodium formulations, and products without artificial additives. All three opportunities reflect F.O.B. Destination delivery with strict temperature and freshness requirements, and all require vendor compliance with HACCP plans, insurance, and E-Verify verification.
