UNSPSC 50603610: Frozen Non GMO rossa di verona endives

The variety of Non GMO endives known as Non GMO rossa di verona 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 50603610 Frozen Non GMO rossa di verona endives is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, sits within a broader food procurement ecosystem where governments are buying shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional consumption rather than sourcing the narrowly named product itself. The three most recent opportunities posted under or adjacent to this code reflect purchasing patterns focused on bulk food acquisition for senior services, state-level food supply operations, and school nutrition programs — domains where endives and specialty vegetables may appear as line items within larger food-sourcing RFQs and IFBs, but where the actual buying volume centers on staples: canned proteins, grains, pasta, dairy, bread products meeting USDA specifications, and fluid milk meeting state quality standards. Issuing bodies include county purchasing departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). These entities structure awards on lowest-responsive-bidder pricing, require vendors to meet food-safety compliance including HACCP plans and food-recall procedures, and increasingly emphasize domestic sourcing, low-sodium formulations, and products without artificial additives.

Georgia dominates the recent activity, with two posted opportunities from state and county jurisdictions and one from an Early County school district, all posted between May and October 2026. The Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (informal written quote, due October 19, 2026) sought 1,062 cases across 35 line items of shelf-stable products for senior services, with delivery to Lawrenceville and award by unit-price calculation. The State of Georgia's PE55645 (bid, due June 22, 2026) covered food, supplies, and kitchen products under a detailed scope not fully specified in the summary. Early County Board of Education's PE55045 (bid, due June 8, 2026) issued a line-by-line food and non-food request spanning 300+ items for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and allowance for multi-year renewal. The code shows minimal evidence of endive-specific procurement; recent opportunities are dominated by commodity staples and institutional food service rather than specialty frozen vegetables.
