UNSPSC 50602609: Frozen Non GMO purple cape cauliflowers

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO purple cape 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 50602609 Frozen Non GMO purple cape cauliflowers is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen specialty produce items procured primarily by school districts, county governments, and state agencies for food service operations. State and local buyers use this code for shelf-stable and frozen food product procurement, including specialty vegetables and proteins, to support meal programs, senior services, and institutional cafeterias. The issuing bodies span county purchasing divisions (like Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state-level food procurement (Georgia Department of Administrative Services), and school district food service programs (such as Early County Board of Education). Solicitations typically require line-item bidding, delivery compliance with temperature and freshness standards, domestic sourcing preferences where applicable, and HACCP or food safety certification.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and pantry staples for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026 and delivery required by December 7, 2026 to Lawrenceville. The State of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026, with responses due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids on May 11, 2026, covering 300+ food items and specialty products (including fluid milk and whole-grain bread meeting USDA 2024 specifications) for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026; the contract term runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with extension and renewal options. All three opportunities emphasize lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder evaluation, firm pricing structures, and compliance with food safety, labor verification, and insurance requirements.
