UNSPSC 50603605: Frozen Non GMO grumolo verde endives

The variety of Non GMO endives known as Non GMO grumolo verde endives that have 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 50603605 Frozen Non GMO grumolo verde endives is a Commodity code covering specialized frozen vegetable products for institutional food service. State and local procurement activity under this code reflects the broader institutional food procurement environment — school districts, county social services, and state agencies solicit frozen and fresh produce as components of larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items. The work being bought includes vegetables and proteins for school meal programs (breakfast and lunch), senior services meal programs, and general institutional cafeteria operations. Issuing bodies span school districts, county governments (particularly county boards of commissioners managing social services and senior programs), and state departments handling food procurement for multiple institutional uses.

Recent activity shows Georgia as the primary jurisdiction with documented opportunities. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IWQ (informal written quote) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services, with delivery required by December 7, 2026 and quotes due October 19, 2026. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, encompassing 300+ food items including vegetables and dairy with delivery through June 2027. The State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid in May 2026 (due June 22, 2026), with the full scope in an attached solicitation document. These opportunities are typically awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with delivery F.O.B. destination and performance spanning multiple institutional sites within each jurisdiction.
