UNSPSC 50602601: Frozen Non GMO all the year round cauliflowers

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO all the year round cauliflowers 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 50602601 Frozen Non-GMO All the Year Round Cauliflowers is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional feeding programs, senior services, and school nutrition operations rather than frozen cauliflower specifically. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this code as a gateway for broader food-service procurement spanning proteins, vegetables, dairy, grains, and paper supplies. Issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). The work involves RFQ, IFB, and line-item bid processes with delivery windows typically 72 hours to 14 days, compliance with USDA nutrition standards, temperature control for dairy products, HACCP documentation, Buy American provisions, and E-Verify verification when contract values exceed specified thresholds.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, with recent opportunities posted by Gwinnett County (October 2026), the State of Georgia (May 2026), and Early County Board of Education (May 2026). The Gwinnett County RFQ sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables, proteins, and staples with delivery to the Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026 and quotes due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. The Early County Board of Education IFB covered 300-plus food items and 60 non-food supplies for school lunch and breakfast programs across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026 and contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Both procurements required domestic sourcing preferences, lowest-unit-of-measure pricing evaluation, multiple vendor references, and F.O.B. destination delivery with inside placement.
