UNSPSC 50602606: Frozen Non GMO limelight cauliflowers

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO limelight cauliflowers 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 50602606 Frozen Non GMO limelight cauliflowers is a Commodity code whose nominal scope does not align with the recent state and local solicitations posted under it. The code specifies a single frozen vegetable product, yet the three recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit broad food procurement — shelf-stable staples, kitchen supplies, and meal-program products spanning proteins, grains, dairy, produce, and paper goods. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the issuing systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for food-service purchasing that encompasses but is not limited to frozen vegetables. State and local buyers under this code include county governments, state agencies, and school districts sourcing for senior services, institutional dining, and National School Lunch Program compliance. None of the three recent opportunities name frozen cauliflower as a line item or emphasized fresh-frozen produce procurement; the actual work being bought is institutional food service replenishment at volume, not specialty produce.

Georgia shows the strongest recent activity, with Gwinnett County posting an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 for the Department of Community Services, the State of Georgia requesting bids on food and kitchen supplies due June 22, 2026, and the Early County Board of Education posting a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 for the National School Lunch Program across three schools. The Early County solicitation emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance with USDA 2024 standards, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with firm pricing for 15 days from award and price-escalation caps at 3% supported by USDA or CPI data. Vendors must meet Buy American provisions, carry $500,000 general liability insurance, maintain HACCP plans, and allow piggybacking by other districts. Given the limited and misfiled recent opportunities, the code shows little activity clearly aligned to frozen specialty vegetables in state and local procurement.
