This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions.

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50602902 Frozen Non GMO en cornet de bordeaux chicory, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The eight recent state and local opportunities posted between January and June 2026 are tagged to this code but describe procurement of broad food-service categories—fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, eggs, and general food supplies for school nutrition programs and state operations—rather than the specific chicory product the code names. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation content suggests that either the tagging reflects a data-entry error or the category has been applied as a catch-all for fresh and frozen food procurement that does not align with the product line's intended definition.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Douglas County School System in Georgia appearing twice (for produce-and-eggs and food-supply-distribution services), followed by the Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas. State procurement offices in Georgia have also posted broadly scoped food-supply solicitations. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (annual expenditure approximately $9 million, due February 18, 2026), the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts across Georgia (estimated annual spending approximately $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two, due March 4, 2026), and the Dallas Independent School District RFP JC250079 for various food products due April 2, 2026. These opportunities typically run for a single school-year contract period (July through June) with renewal options and require firm pricing, HACCP compliance, food-safety certifications, and delivery to multiple school sites.
