UNSPSC 50602607: Frozen Non GMO minaret cauliflowers

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO minaret 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 50602607 Frozen Non GMO minaret cauliflowers (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within broader food procurement activity, though recent state and local solicitations show little direct demand for this specific item. State and local governments buy frozen vegetables and related food products primarily through school districts, county social-service agencies, and state procurement offices as components of larger food-supply contracts. The work being solicited spans institutional food service — school meal programs, senior services, and public-facility cafeterias — where vendors supply produce alongside proteins, grains, dairy, and non-food kitchen items. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners managing senior and community services, state purchasing departments, and independent school districts running National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. These jurisdictions typically award on a line-item or lot basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, often with options to extend terms and split awards across multiple vendors when cost or service considerations warrant.

Recent opportunities in Georgia demonstrate the geographic and scope patterns: Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ 140229 (informal written quotes due October 19, 2026) sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, including canned vegetables delivered F.O.B. Destination to a senior services center; the State of Georgia issued a broader May 2026 bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026); and Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for 300+ food items, 60 non-food supplies, and specialty products including bread and fluid milk for school meal programs (due June 8, 2026). However, no recent posted solicitation explicitly names frozen cauliflower or similar specialty frozen vegetables as a line item, suggesting this Commodity code sees infrequent direct solicitation in current state and local markets. Frozen specialty produce tends to be bundled within larger vegetable or produce lots rather than procured as a standalone category.
