UNSPSC 50603607: Frozen Non GMO palla rossa zorzi precoce endives

The variety of Non GMO endives known as Non GMO palla rossa zorzi precoce 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 50603607 Frozen Non GMO palla rossa zorzi precoce endives is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not soliciting frozen endives; instead, they reflect broader food procurement activity including shelf-stable pantry items, institutional food service products for schools and senior services, and general food supplies. The mismatch between the code's specific produce designation and the actual solicitations posted suggests the code is either rarely used in state and local procurement or has been misapplied to opportunities that belong in higher-tier food or produce categories.

The few opportunities on record span Georgia jurisdictions — Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education — posting informal written quotes and line-by-line bids for food purchases. Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ 140229 procurement sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) for the Department of Community Services with quotes due October 19, 2026. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 bid solicited 300+ food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, including meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and bread meeting USDA whole-grain specifications, with bids due June 8, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a May 2026 food supplies and kitchen products bid with a June 22, 2026 deadline; full scope details were confined to an attached PDF. No recent opportunities specifically name frozen endives or specialty produce under this code.
