UNSPSC 50602712: Frozen Non GMO lathom self-blanching celery

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO lathom self-blanching 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 50602712 Frozen Non-GMO Lathom self-blanching celery (Commodity) describes a single frozen produce item, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent solicitation. The eight recent opportunities posted across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas since January 2026 focus on broad food service procurement—fresh produce, frozen foods and grocery items, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees for school nutrition programs and state operations—rather than frozen celery as a line item. While frozen vegetables appear as components within larger fresh-and-frozen grocery bids, no solicitation explicitly names or targets frozen celery products, and the code's nominal scope does not align with the actual purchasing patterns in recent opportunities.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Dallas Independent School District, alongside state-level procurement from Georgia (fresh produce, food supplies) and a cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). Georgia sees the heaviest recent activity, with six opportunities posted between February and May 2026, followed by Missouri and Texas. The representative recent solicitations—Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026, RFQ), City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026), and Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026)—all address broad commodity categories and blended supplier relationships rather than single-SKU or single-commodity procurement. Given the absence of targeted frozen celery activity and the mismatch between the code's specificity and recent solicitation scope, pursue this code only if your firm operates as a component line-item supplier within larger school-nutrition or state-food-operations frameworks.
