UNSPSC 50602800: Frozen Non GMO chards

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO chards 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 50602800 Frozen Non GMO chards is a Class code that nominally targets frozen non-GMO chard products, but recent state and local solicitations under this code reveal a much broader scope of food procurement for institutional dining, senior services, and school meal programs. State and local governments are buying shelf-stable pantry staples (canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces), fresh and frozen produce, dairy products, bread, and non-food kitchen supplies under this classification. Issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). The mix reflects food service procurement across multiple institutional contexts — senior centers, state facilities, and National School Lunch Program operations.

Activity centers in Georgia, where three recent solicitations posted between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026 requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. and delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia issued a formal IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line bid solicitation on May 11, 2026 for 300+ food items and non-food supplies across three schools to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026; the contract period runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options and requires compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, $500,000 general liability insurance, and E-Verify.
