UNSPSC 50602703: Frozen Non GMO chinese celery

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO chinese 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 50602703 Frozen Non-GMO Chinese Celery is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables, peanut butter, jelly, and canned proteins for senior services in October 2026, while Early County Board of Education sought fresh and frozen produce, meats, dairy, and grains for school meal programs in May 2026, and the State of Georgia posted a broad food-supplies solicitation the same month. None of these opportunities explicitly names frozen celery or specialty vegetable products as a line item, and the Gwinnett County and Early County records emphasize shelf-stable inventory and fresh proteins over frozen specialty produce. The code's activity reflects general food-service procurement by county departments, school districts, and state agencies rather than focused sourcing of a single frozen vegetable product.

Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in Georgia, with Gwinnett County posting an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center, and Early County Board of Education issuing a line-by-line food bid for 300+ items supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs with a June 8, 2026 deadline. The State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies bid in May 2026 with details contained in a full solicitation document. Absent explicit mentions of frozen celery sourcing in these records, the code appears to represent a classification mismatch or a low-volume specialty category within broader food-service procurement. Vendors targeting this code should verify whether specific opportunities naming frozen produce exist before bidding, as the recent postings suggest state and local food procurement is currently driven by shelf-stable inventory and fresh produce categories rather than frozen specialty items.
