UNSPSC 50603613: Frozen Non GMO verona endives

The variety of Non GMO endives known as Non GMO 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 50603613 Frozen Non GMO Verona Endives, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its specific scope — state and local solicitations under this code are actually purchasing broad food-service baskets that only incidentally include frozen vegetables. Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services includes canned proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces alongside vegetables, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line bid for school nutrition programs encompasses 300+ food items spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, fruits, grains, and condiments — with vegetables present but undifferentiated from the larger procurement basket. The State of Georgia's May 2026 bid for food, supplies, and kitchen products provides no item-level detail in the posted notice. None of these solicitations foreground frozen endives or frozen vegetables as a distinct line item or category.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia — Gwinnett County (metropolitan Atlanta), Early County (rural southwest Georgia), and the State of Georgia centralized procurement. The buying bodies are a county government, an independent school district, and a state department, reflecting typical food-service procurement patterns in K–12 and senior services. The code's nominal scope (frozen non-GMO endives) does not align with what state and local governments are actually purchasing under this classification. Business development prospects evaluating this code should verify whether their frozen-endive or frozen-vegetable products are being requisitioned through broader food-service line-item bids rather than standalone vegetable categories, and determine whether the generic commodity tagging reflects actual buyer intent or a classification mismatch in the state or local procurement system.
