UNSPSC 50602602: Frozen Non GMO alverda cauliflowers

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO alverda 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 50602602 Frozen Non GMO alverda cauliflowers is a Commodity code that in practice names a narrow product line, though recent state and local solicitations using this code span a much broader scope of food procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code include shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables), National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program components (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, produce, grains, condiments, bread, fluid milk, and non-food supplies), and general food service supplies for senior services and institutional food programs. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state procurement divisions (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). The code sees activity across food service procurement for municipal senior services, state-level institutional feeding, and K–12 nutrition programs, with vendors expected to manage compliance requirements including Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, E-Verify verification, general liability insurance, debarment checks, and food recall procedures when applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with three posted opportunities between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services delivery by December 7, 2026, with quotes due October 19, 2026. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line IFB in May 2026 for 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies supporting the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, with bids due June 8, 2026 and contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia issued a statewide bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Delivery logistics, price evaluation per unit of measure, firm pricing with escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or CPI benchmarks, and allowance for split awards by line item are standard features of these solicitations.
