UNSPSC 50602701: Frozen Non GMO celebrity celery

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO celebrity celery 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 50602701 Frozen Non GMO celebrity celery is a Commodity code. State and local governments are soliciting frozen vegetables under this code, though recent posted opportunities show the actual procurement landscape spans a much broader range of food products than the narrow code descriptor suggests. Gwinnett County, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education are all actively soliciting food and food-service products in 2026, with scopes that include shelf-stable proteins, canned goods, fresh and frozen vegetables, dairy, meats, poultry, seafood, bread products meeting USDA specifications, and fluid milk. The issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County), state departments (Georgia Department of Administrative Services), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). The underlying contract activity reflects institutional food service procurement — senior services centers, state kitchens, and school lunch and breakfast programs — where vendors supply large volumes of food items on recurring delivery schedules rather than single-unit frozen-vegetable purchases.

Georgia dominates the recent activity under this code, with three opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IWQ (informal written quotation) on October 13, 2026, requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services with a response deadline of October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.; delivery goes F.O.B. Destination to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center with awards made line-by-line to the lowest responsive bidder per unit of measure. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items and 60 non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with a contract period running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend. The State of Georgia posted a statewide food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026), with full scope and pricing contained in an attached 12 MB document.
