UNSPSC 50602713: Frozen Non GMO soup celery d'amsterdam

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO soup celery d'amsterdam 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 50602713 Frozen Non GMO Soup Celery d'Amsterdam, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a single specialty frozen vegetable product—does not align with the actual procurement patterns in the recent state and local opportunities block, which document broad food service solicitations for school districts and state agencies spanning hundreds of line items across produce, meats, dairy, grains, frozen goods, and miscellaneous supplies. None of the seven recent opportunities explicitly solicited frozen celery or products matching this code's narrow specification; instead, they captured multi-category food procurement for school nutrition programs, state food operations, and district-wide as-needed supply arrangements.

The recent activity demonstrates strong solicitation volume from school districts and state agencies across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas—including the Douglas County School System (two RFPs for main-line food distribution and fresh produce/eggs via the GEC Buying Cooperative), Early County Board of Education (line-by-line food bid for three schools due June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (fresh produce bid due April 23, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (900+ line-item grocery bid due April 29, 2026), Dallas Independent School District (RFP for various food products due April 2, 2026), and the State of Georgia (general food supplies IFB due May 27, 2026)—but none of these solicitations reference frozen celery products or the specific commodity this code nominally describes. The code appears dormant or misaligned with actual state and local food procurement under current sourcing patterns.
